"We are really pleased with the results from
Oulton Park, which are a testament to the team that we are developing at STP Motorsport, and in particular the effort that Chris is putting in to compete against some extremely well-funded teams on the MV Agusta F4 1000, which is little more than a Superstock machine at present," he said. "Our problem in qualifying was down to a development in the braking system that left us with insufficient wheels and we had to make the tyre choice based on the weather at the time, which left us without a front slick when the track dried. Problems like this are annoying but they are inevitable as we continue to develop the MV Agusta F4 1000 Superbike.
"The progress that we are making as a team is encouraging for everybody and the developments that will be in place by
Donington Park will make a considerable difference to the bike's performance. The new electronics package will provide an edge and allow Chris to get off the start line that bit quicker.
"Chris and the bike are definitely on the pace now and we have to make sure that we give him the parts that he needs to be able to compete with the rest of the field. Once these parts arrive we are confident of continuing and building on our success."
