05 September 2008
Having made further developments to the MV Agusta F4 1000 the STP Motorsport MV Agusta team took the opportunity to get some track time at Croft this week. A further increase in horsepower and a change of ignition system where the major items that needed to be tried under race conditions. The change to the Motec ignition package has released a few extra horsepower and, combined with some engine development since Cadwell Park, Chris Burns was eager to get out on to a track that he has not ridden in competition for some time. Thankfully, the first session was dry and allowed the team to get a good number of laps in.

Fantastic Weekend Ends with Another Win for MV Agusta
12 August 2008
The STP Motorsport MV Agusta British Superbike Team came away from a weekend of mixed fortunes at Knockhill with its season back on track following a podium finish in race one and a stunning race win in the rain interrupted second race in the Daily Star Superbike Cup. The Team’s mechanical jinx returned with an undiagnosed misfire on the new Superbike engine during qualifying forced the team to abandon plans to use it in the race. This left Chris Burns with his number two bike, which remains pretty much in superstock condition. Undeterred, he pushed hard from 17th place on the grid to finish 3rd in the Daily Star Superbike Cup and 15th overall, gaining another valuable Championship point for MV Agusta in its return to the Superbike stage.
