Tarran Mackenzie scored a shock maiden WorldSSP Championship victory at Most after taking advantage of the inclement weather conditions to emerge on top.

The MIE Racing rider has endured a troubled season aboard the outdated Honda CBR600RR package but intermittent rain allowed his prowess in dicey weather conditions to shine through as he came from 22nd on the grid to win.

Indeed, the changeable weather played its part in allowing Mackenzie to make gains, with strategic issues and various accidents counting out many of the top players, leaving several unfamiliar faces towards the front at the flag.

Among them was WorldSSP leader Nicolo Bulega, who led early on before dropping back in the clamour to eventually finish 16th. However, with his closest rival Stefano Manzi crashing out too, it is the Aruba.it Ducati rider that takes a sizeable 46 point advantage into the summer break.

Mackenzie's first win also marks a maiden WorldSSP victory for the MIE Racing team, while Marcel Schroetter and Bahattin Sofuoglu in second and third represented another double podium of the year for MV Agusta.

Like Mackenzie, John McPhee was another to benefit from the conditions, the Briton surging up the order - much like he did at the Phillip Island season opener - to claim fourth place at the flag.

Mackenzie's team-mate Adam Norrodin completed the top five on the second of the MIE Honda's, ahead of wild-card Thomas Gradinger, Federico Fulgini and Anupab Sarmoon.
