Podium Record Remains Intact for Chris Burns
26 August 2008
Once again the STP Motorsport MV Agusta British superbike team put its supporters through the wringer with a roller coaster of a weekend at Cadwell Park. As we all know, though, it is the race that counts and Chris Burns maintained his record of standing on the podium in every race the MV Agusta F4 1000 has finished this season. Saturday’s free practice promised much ahead of the new-style qualifying but a damp track in practice on Saturday morning resulted in a major accident for Chris and the MV Agusta F4 1000, while he was lying in a fantastic 7th place in the time standings. Thankfully, both Chris and the bike escaped relatively unharmed and the team looked forward to improving on its provisional 16th place on the grid.

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.

High Fibre Diet Gives MV Agusta a New Outlook on Life
17 July 2008
Having come away from Mallory Park with a win and a third place in the Daily Star Superbike Cup the STP Motorsport MV Agusta British Team is confident that more success is around the many corners at Oulton Park this weekend. The MV Agusta F4 1000 has shown a lot of potential throughout the first half of the season and, as the development of the bike into a full-blown superbike continues, this potential will continue to be realised. The team has been handicapped so far by the excess weight that the ‘stock’ bike has had to carry. At about 20 kilos over the weight of its main competitors the bike has not been as agile as it could have been, making the result at the stop/start Mallory Park even more impressive.

Burns Back with a Bang at Mallory
01 July 2008
Chris Burns announced his return to the Daily Star British Superbike Cup with a third place followed by a win at Mallory Park today. Onboard the STP Motorsport MV Agusta, the Newcastle rider took a tyre gamble which was to pay dividends in the second of two races around the historic Leicestershire circuit. After Burns and the team were forced to withdraw from the Snetterton round earlier this month, hopes were high they could return to their top three-finishing ways as they returned with the only MV Agusta in the series.

Taking the Positives from a Disappointing Windswept Donington
28 May 2008
Well it was a disappointing end to what looked like being a very positive weekend for the STP Motorsport MV Agusta British Superbike Team. After qualifying on the third row of the grid the team expected at least two podiums in the Superbike Cup as reward for some extremely hard work in the pit garage. In morning free practice on race day Chris Burns posted the fastest time out of the Superbike Cup riders and was 13th overall, adding to the team's optimism. As the first race got underway this optimism looked as if it would become reality, with Chris quickly catching and passing Gary Mason to establish a lead in the Cup standings.
