CHRIS BURNS SIGNS FOR AIM YAMAHA RACING
08 July 2005 - Aim Racing

AIM Racing is pleased to announce that ex-GP Racer Chris Burns, has signed for AIM Racing.

Chris signed for the team late on Tuesday night. The deal came about as John McGuinness left AIM Racing after Knockhill.

Alistair Flanagan commented “We are pleased to have Chris join the team. He is a talent that needs to be back on a bike and is no stranger to racing Yamahas. He had a short time with Virgin Yamaha, several years ago, so I am keen to give Chris ago on the AIM bikes for the remainder of the season.

After Knockhill I was speaking to Jack Valentine about the current situation. We started talking about ex-GP rider Chris Burns, Jack mentioned to me that Chris was still looking for a ride. I had a meeting with Chris and I was surprised with how fit he was. This showed the type of commitment he has and he looked in top condition. Whilst talking to Chris I was given a clear message that he is still hungry for the competition of motorcycle racing. I have signed Chris till the end of the 2005 season.”

Chris Burns added “I am very pleased to be back in BSB, it has been hard sitting at home watching the racing. Since I left BSB and went to GPs I have gained a lot of experience in both racing and the setup of a top performance bike. I feel coming back into BSB will be hard and may take a few rounds to get back into it. I will give Alistair and the team 150%. I cannot wait until Snetterton this weekend.”
