WILDCARD TAZ READY FOR SUPERBIKE BOW

- FRASER CLARKE

Tarran Mackenzie is set to make his World Superbike debut later this month with a wildcard at the legendary TT Circuit Assen.

The Stirling-born Mcams Yamaha racer, who followed in the footsteps of his dad Niall in winning the British Superbike Championsh­ip last year, will go head-to-head with a packed grid of talent – including multiple world champion Jonathan Rea, former Motogp stars Scott Redding and

Alvaro

Bautista and reigning world champion Toprak Razgatliog­lu.

The wildcard ride on April 23 and 24 will be the first venture on to the world stage for Taz, but it’s an opportunit­y he’s relishing.

The 26-year-old said:“i am very excited to make my debut in the Worldsbk championsh­ip and it will be quite special to do it with my MCAMS Yamaha team.”
