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.

Best Ever Qualifying for Chris Burns & MV Agusta
26 May 2008
After an incident packed weekend the STP Motorsport MV Agusta British Superbike Team recorded its best ever qualifying position ahead of Monday’s British Superbike races at Donington Park. The freak accident in warm up on Saturday, when a gust of wind blew several pitboard numbers onto the track, one of which punctured the radiator on the MV Agusta causing Chris Burns to highside as he entered turn one, meant another late night for the pit crew. They delivered a bike that was quick enough to put Chris second fastest in the Daily Star Cup standings in today’s free practice. However, technical issues as a result of yesterday’s crash would mean more work being done between free practice and qualifying.

Double podium for MV Agusta at Outon
07 May 2008
Chris Burns put in two, very determined, rides at Oulton Park over the Bank Holiday weekend to come away with 2nd and 3rd places in the Daily Star Superbike Cup races. These results move Chris and the STP Motortsport MV Agusta British Superbike team into 2nd place in the overall standings. Free practice went extremely well over the weekend leading the team to be hopeful of qualifying well for the races. However, due to the mixed weather conditions during qualifying Chris found himself in third place out of the Cup riders and 20th overall on the grid. While disappointed, the team knew the potential of the bike and rider and were confident ahead of Monday’s races.

Burns Returns With Team STP Racing At Cadwell
23 August 2007
Chris Burns will be flying the flag as sole rider for Team STP Racing this weekend as the Metzeler Racetec National Superstock Championship moves to Cadwell Park. The 27-year-old Geordie race-ace is hoping to finally start what will be his first full race of the season on board the team’s distinctive MV Agusta F4 312R. The former MotoGP pilot from Newcastle was unable to contest his home round at Croft a fortnight ago, after the team opted to miss the event to spend time working on the bikes in the run-up to the closing rounds of the season.
