Chambers hails MLF's big comeback
The pair ran at the Birmingham Games last weekend and Chambers just edged out the Darlaston Dart to regain the mantle of Britain's best sprinter.
Chambers, who took European Indoor gold in Turin last year, produced an impressive performance in the second city, clocking 6.58 seconds en route to the 60m victory.
Lewis-Francis, who has been hampered by injuries since helping Great Britain win relay Gold in Athens 2004, finished second in Birmingham, running an impressive 6.66s.
The 27-year-old Birchfield Harrier was in good spirits after his outing, saying: "I've raced three times in one day and I've walked away from it injury-free.
"My body feels good, I'm in one piece and I really can't complain.
"For now I'm just going to go with the flow and see what happens rather than set targets for myself."
Chambers has now gone to second in the world rankings and believes the return of Lewis-Francis has something to do with it.
He said: "It's been fun to have the rivalry between myself and Mark.
"It has brought the buzz back for me.
"We've been running against each other for a long time and having competition like that just gives you that little bit more of an incentive."
