Christian Iddon's pole position and fourth in the weekend's sprint race marked the highlights of what was an up and down weekend for the Buildbase Suzuki team at Snetterton.
In Friday's mixed conditions Iddon topped FP1 and then qualified on pole in a wet Q2. He was able to remain competitive in the dry, and despite missing out on the podium in yesterday's sprint race, he was still able to take his best result of the season, finishing fourth.
Unfortunately he retired from today's first race with a brake issue race before being taken out by another rider on the opening lap of race three.
Iddon said, "I should be happier after taking our best result of the season this weekend but today [Sunday] was really disappointing. I actually think we could have had a podium in race one, but I had no rear brake for pretty much the whole race, which is really important not just for slowing down but controlling wheelies with the electronic regulations in BSB. It would have been really nice to have followed pole position up with a podium and a trophy.
"Today was a disaster, I had front brake failure which meant I had to pull in and then didn't get to finish a lap of race three. It's a shame because I think we had good pace and could have had two top eights, maybe two top sixes, and it could have been a really solid weekend and we could have built some momentum, and it just didn't happen for us."
