He has also joined the social media company/media agency/talent development agency CyclingHub. Following a successful streaming service, Chris decided to make his own cycling-themed news show where he discusses the latest cycling-related news stories. Both serious and not so serious - most often the latter. In early 2020 Chris joined the Wahoo E-Sports Team. to take his 'crawl to victory' tactics to another level. He has also won the 2020 edition of Paris-Roubaix beating second place finisher Peter Sagaa by over 17 minutes on the virtual cycling platform Veloton

In December 2018, Chris decided to race up the Alpe d'zwift after being put under pressure by members of TeamCyclingHub.
