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 fracture in the ulna bone in his left wrist which meant he couldn’t contest race two.

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.”
