Flying Scot Mackenzie Aims For Home Glory -ozzy go- superbike-news.co.uk

Billy Mackenzie is planning to spoil the party in the Park for the
five riders chasing the World MX1 Championship at this Sunday’s
penultimate round at Donington Park – the determined Scot has
enjoyed home glory before and is eager for more at this all new
event to the Leicestershire circuit.

He goes head to head with Kiwi Josh Coppins who returns from
injury to boost his hopes of winning elite crown. The Yamaha rider
has missed a couple of rounds after damaging his shoulder in a
tumble and that has allowed his rivals to close in.

Belgian rider Steve Ramon is just a dozen points down and in this
hotly competitive series, his team-mate Kevin Strijbos, a winner
last Sunday in Northern Ireland, has powered in, together with
Sebastien Pourcel and David Philippaerts.

Mackenzie is ready to take on all-comers: “I really want to win
this one. There is pressure and I put it into something positive.
We get good vibes off the crowd. I never put any pressure on
myself, I just try my best and that’s all you can do. But it helps
when the British fans are there just to push it along.”

He will be looking to them to boost him to victory, just as they did
in corresponding event when it was held in the Isle of Wight: “I
can’t define what it is that they give you, but it’s always there,
giving you that extra boost. The British fans are the best in the
world. “They get right behind you and that win on the Isle of Wight
two years was the best moment of my career right up to winning
this year in Japan, so I guess you could say that a moto win in
Britain is equal to three GP wins in a row anywhere else. To win
the Grand Prix at Donington would be awesome.” click on ozzy go
