Just shy of his best finish of the season when he scored a sensational third place finish in treacherous conditions on his debut at Phillip Island at the start of the year, McPhee was encouraged to show his skills in the ‘great equaliser’ that is wet weather.

“Happy for myself and everyone in the Vince64 team,” he wrote on social media.  Tricky conditions are always a great equaliser and I’m happy to show our true potential again.”

“Congrats to my wee mate Tarran Mackenzie on the win! Well deserved. Roll on Magny cours! [sic].

McPhee is currently contesting his first season of WorldSSP aboard the Kawasaki ZX-6R after calling time on his Moto3 World Championship career, where he was a four-time race winner.
