CAS Honda: MacKenzie Does It Again

Round 4 of the British Motocross Championship – Lyng – Sunday 4th May 2008

Billy Mackenzie dominated the MX1 British Championship once again at the 4th round of the Maxxis British Championship. After qualifying on pole position he lead, more than convincingly, from start to finish in BOTH races. He crossed the chequered flag in the first race an incredible 43 seconds in front of second placed rider Brad Anderson.

At the half way stage of this British Championship Billy Mackenzie has lead every lap, and won each of the 8 races so far this year.

Mike Brown qualified in 4th position and gated well in his first race, sitting comfortably in fourth place until attempting to pass Jason Dougan, this maneuver ended with Mike overstretching his shoulder and having to pull out of the race. With the next round of the World Championship this coming weekend, it was decided that Mike should not go out in the second race.

Team Manager Neil Prince once again was more than happy with Billy’s performance and safe in the knowledge that Mike, the true professional that he is, will fully prepare himself for the coming weekend in Bulgaria.

Mike said “I am obviously disappointed not to have increased my points in the Championship but I now have to focus on this coming weekend”.

Billy was smiling at the end of the day on the podium (and so he should with a 65 point lead!) and said “A good day without any mistakes, and that has to be the goal, I will carry this through to the GPs”.
