TARRAN MACKENZIE
Youngest son of Niall Mackenzie,’ Taz’ showed how serious he was in his own racing ambitions by winning the British Supersport Championship in 2016. He then followed in his father Niall’ s tyre tracks when securing the BSB Championship itself in 2021. A first full WorldSSP season in 2023 saw him take the opportunity of the ever-changing weather conditions offered at Autodrom Most, as he won a race despite his bike being short on outright pace. After a period on a WorldSBK Honda, he did enough in the final rounds of 2025 to stay on a good Independent Team Ducati this year.

WorldSBK RIDERS
JAKE DIXON
In a championship where British riders have found success so often over the years, Jake Dixon is the latest new ex-BSB race winner to enter WorldSBK. Like his old Moto2 rival Sam Lowes, Jake has not had a direct introduction to WorldSBK, having entered Moto2 in 2019, and having been a fixture there ever since. Seven race wins and 22 Moto2 podiums in all have shown Dixon to really have the speed required for global competition. He will not be a complete rookie in 2026, as he raced as a wildcard at Donington in 2017, scoring a top ten in one of his two races. On a factory Honda for his first full WorldSBK season this year, why should Dixon not make a good go of it from the off?
