After scoring his first points of the year at Portimao, Tarran Mackenzie is hoping to collect more this weekend at Assen.

The Dutch World Superbike Round was a happy hunting ground for Tarran Mackenzie in 2024, now he is hoping for a repeat this season.

During his debut season in World Superbikes, Mackenzie's first points came at Assen when he finished 14th and 11th in Race One and Two.

Following a difficult start to his 2025 season, the former British Superbike Champion is hoping his prior experience at the circuit will help him return to the points.

Mackenzie has scored two points in the opening six races this season after finishing 14th in Race One at Portimao. However, he went on to crash in the Superpole Race and Race Two on Sunday.

Despite his disappointing Sunday, the 29-year-old believes he made a step forward at Portimao. This has left him hopeful that he can make another step this weekend on a track where he has more experience.

"I’m really looking forward to Assen," Mackenzie stated ahead of the Dutch World Superbike Round.

"I had one of my better rounds there last year and have experience of the track with both Superbike and BSB. I’m keen to arrive and sit down with the team to make a plan ready for the weekend.

"Sometimes you can’t tell what the weather will do; it’s very much like the UK in that respect, but the way we ended the Portimão round, finding a bit of a better direction, can only be a good thing for us at Assen.

"We’ll work hard to keep closing the gap, and it would be nice to score some points again!"
