As well as suffering a concussion, the 30-year-old from Stirling sustained fractures to his left collarbone, shoulder blade and left shin.
“Oh, bloody hell… it was going so well. I’ve never felt better on the bike this year,” said a frustrated Mackenzie. “A minor slip caught me off guard and hit me hard. I took quite a knock, but I can count myself lucky that, after that violent impact with the tyre wall, I only came away with these injuries.”

Ten days after his crash, it’s becoming clearer what the Englishman’s recovery process will look like. The fact that the Superbike World Championship is on its summer break until the round at Magny-Cours (4–6 September) is a blessing in disguise for the MGM Optical Express Racing rider.
“I’ve already had surgery on my shin, and hopefully I’ll have surgery on my collarbone soon too,” Taz said in an update last week. “Fortunately, my fibula and shoulder blade don’t need surgery. A big thank you goes to the marshals, paramedics and the Dorna staff at the circuit. In the end, it’s just a minor setback; everything will be fine.”
