Ward crashed out of race one at the last corner and was then forced to retire in race two with an arm injury and a technical problem, which hindered his chances.

“It wasn’t the greatest weekend,” Ward said.

“We had loads of potential but it just didn’t work out. I got horrendous arm-pump all weekend. I think it was my own fault as I did a training session on Wednesday. It’s just so frustrating. I lost so much of the weekend because of that.

“There are still a lot of positives to take. I tested a new front tyre which gave me a lot of confidence plus some set-up changes. We got a better feeling with the bike and we worked really well together but there are plenty of things to take on to Donington.”
