Tarran Mackenzi☂e 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 fracture in the ulna bone in his left wrist which meant he couldn’🐲t contest race two.

Having finished in 18th place on his BSB maiden 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 already 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 still 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 crashed whilst pushing 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.”
