Tarran Mackenzie was forced♚ out of race two at his Bennetts British Superbike championship debut with McAMS Yamaha with a cracked ulna in his left wrist.

The BSB rookie tipped off for the second time of his debut race weekend in the series during morning warm-up in soaking wet conditions and sustained a fracturꦡe in the ulna bone in his left wrist which meant he couldn’t 𝄹contest race two.

Having finished in 18th place on his BSB maꩲiden bow in the opening race of 2018, Mackenzie concedes it was a stiff learning curve and is eager to progress through his first year in the Superbike class and is alrea🌟dy targeting a comeback from his wrist injury at the second round at Brands Hatch Indy.

“We had some good speed in the wet particularly, which is a definite positive first time out,” Mackenzie said. “I’m stiꦇll learning, after all it’s only my fifth or sixth day on a Superbike but maybe I need to calm down a bit.

“Ultimately I cra𓆉shed whilst push🔜ing to find the limits, I think I’d be more annoyed if I crashed out of 30th to be honest. My wrist should be alright by Brands so fingers crossed for that and some more dry track time.”
