Bath's Tom Church missed out on a podium finish at the second round of the Arenacross UK series in Belfast last weekend.
The SR75 World Team powered by Molson rider came third in the tour's opener at the O2 but had to settle for ninth spot this time around.
Team-mate Carl Nunn battled hard to take his 350 KTM bike to fifth place.
Church said: "After an eventful trip, Belfast was a good and bad night.
"I felt like I had good speed all day on a slippery and difficult track. The heat races were good, giving me fourth gate pick for the final.
"I messed up a bit on the start but worked my way forward from seventh into fourth by halfway. I was just behind the leaders when I caught my front brake on a tough block going down.
"It was a shame as I felt I could have got onto the podium but that's AX racing. It was another great atmosphere and my bike was perfect again, I'm loving the new 350."
The series resumes at Birmingham's LG Arena on Saturday, February 2.
