Oulton BSB: Crocked Mackenzie to ‘give it a go’

Reigning Bennetts British Superbike Champion Tarran Mackenzie is targeting a return to action at this weekend’s Oulton Park round.

A broken ankle sustained in a crash during the final pre-season test ruled him out of the season opener at Silverstone. The McAMS Yamaha man will be required to undergo an assessment by the BSB medical team ahead of the event, and pending their approval, his plan is to roll out for the opening free practice.

“My ankle felt quite a bit better just a few days after I had the cast off, I’ve got a bit more movement than we had expected,” said Mackenzie.

“I’ve been seeing my physio every day and have been undergoing some light training too. Oulton is a physically demanding track, but if I’m passed fit we’ll give it a go in practice and see how I’m feeling from there.”
