It was quite a weekend as he also set four fastest lap times on his Kawasaki Ninja 400 and took a spot prize for most improved rider.

The first race had to be restarted after a multi-bike accident that saw Smart-Weeden taken down but, undeterred, he enjoyed the technical riding Snetterton demands and triumphed following some close racing.

He’s second in the championship following his clean sweep of victories.
