For the first time this season the Angmering-based Roundstone Suzuki team came away from a meeting without a race win.
But they did manage to gain two second places and a third in the British Superbike Series meeting at Brands Hatch.
Craig Jones missed out on a win by the slightest of margins as just 0.031 seconds separated him and race winner Tom Sykes.
The margin on the finish line equated to the width of the front tyre.
A small consolation for Jones was that on the last lap of the race he broke the lap record and he also leads Sykes in the Dunlop Junior Superstock Championship by 145 points to 123.
In the Performance Bikes Superstock Championship, David Jefferies was to take an impressive win by five seconds from Roundstone duo Chris Burns and John Crockford.
Burns later said that he had been struggling throughout the race to find sufficient grip from his rear tyre.
