It seems the National Championship belt wasn't enough for Chris Kovarik, this weekend coming out with speed at Shepparton for round 2 of the National Championship Downhill series.

Chris and his Wife Claire were on fire all weekend in their respective Downhill categories, both taking wins! In his first run Chris was the only rider of the day to go under the 2 minute mark, and by astounding 5 seconds. In his second run, Chris managed to better his first run time by over 2 seconds and ended up a very comfortable 4 seconds ahead of his nearest competitor.

Chris' domination of the series so far is a testament to the Aussie Downhill legends enthusiasm and dedication to his sport.

In other great Unit team news from Shepparton, Caroline Buchanan has also continued a stellar run of victories, with a comfortable first place in the womens 4X. Caroline now holds a strong lead in the Aussie National 4X series.

Stay tuned each week for more results and updates from the Unit MTB team.
