Claire Buchar marries Chris Kovarik and signs with CRC Intense

Canadian downhiller Claire Buchar recently tied the knot with her Australian partner, fellow WC DH’er Chris Kovarik. And the super-fast newly-weds get to stick together this season with Claire Kovarik being named as the newest member of Chris’s World Cup team, Chain Reaction Cycles/Intense.

Claire has been racing downhill for many years and founded the CanadianDHgirls.com website along with fellow Canadian, Katrina Strand. In 2008 her riding seemed to reah the next level, with Claire acheiving top ten finishes at Worlds in the later races. Maybe the special one-on-one attention from one of the world’s top male riders is paying off? Even Katrina thinks Claire’s riding faster, so watch out for Claire Kovarik in the World Cups for 2009.

You can follow Claire’s and Chris’s racing and even check out where they ride for fun on www.crcintense.com. Click to watch a vid of Claire and Chris pumping away… on a pump track.
