We didn\u2019t really think anything of it being 25 years until the last two rounds really. Because Jason had such a strong points lead during the year it was a case of getting down to these last three rounds and focusing on the championship really.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;For me, up until Silverstone &#8211; last round before the showdown I wasn\u2019t thinking about the championship at all. I was just trying to get as many podium credits as possible. When I came out of Oulton Park leading the championship then there\u2019s a bit more pressure and people were talking about it a bit more.\u00a0<\/p>\n<aside>\n<div class=\"block\">\n<div class=\"mpu-block\">\n<div class=\"mpu-title\"><span>Article continues below<\/span><span>ADVERTISEMENT<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<aside>\n<div class=\"block\">\n<div class=\"mpu-block\">\n<div class=\"mpu-title\"><span>Article continues below<\/span><span>ADVERTISEMENT<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<p>&#8220;When I left Donington Park with a bigger points lead, then after the first race at Brands I had an even bigger points lead, it\u2019s like okay this might happen 25 years on since my dad. It was an incredible weekend at Brands and forget winning the championship, just winning three races was great and winning 25 years on is a bit surreal. A bit of a fairy-tale really.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Crash.net: Was that your mindset throughout the season then; you mentioned how Jason had a really big points lead and a really strong season, but when it got to the showdown that\u2019s when you were at your best and matched your win tally from the pre-showdown rounds. So was it about getting as many podiums, staying as close as possible to him and waiting for the showdown?<\/p>\n<p>Mackenzie: &#8220;Yeah, it\u2019s a strange championship. Obviously it\u2019s worked out for me because if we didn\u2019t have the showdown; you don\u2019t know what would have happened, but it\u2019s very likely that Jason would have won it.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You always want to be leading the championship like he was, but when that kind of gets away from you, you kind of just think about the showdown is coming, so you just want to get as many podium credits as possible.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Suddenly it goes from if I had a crash and Jason won he would only gain five points, whereas when you get into the showdown it goes back to the normal championship. When I crashed at Cadwell and missed three races; well I crashed in the first race and missed the two Sunday races and Jason had a really good weekend &#8211; he had a strong points lead at that point, and then it went away from me a lot.\u00a0<\/p>\n<aside>\n<div class=\"block\">\n<div class=\"mpu-block\">\n<div class=\"mpu-title\"><span>Article continues below<\/span><span>ADVERTISEMENT<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<aside>\n<div class=\"block\">\n<div class=\"mpu-block\">\n<div class=\"mpu-title\"><span>Article continues below<\/span><span>ADVERTISEMENT<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<p>&#8220;At that point it was just about trying to focus on not having any DNF\u2019s and trying to claw back some of the points that Jason was gaining on me. Then I went to Silverstone and we had that coming together again! I broke my hand, broke my wrist and at that point I thought it\u2019s going to be tough now.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I thought Jason was; he was injured as well, but when we went into Oulton Park I still had a broken hand and broken wrist before going to a track where he had previously done the triple at the start of the year &#8211; was a track where I\u2019d never won at or was on the podium at in Superbikes, so it was just about getting to the showdown fit and healthy. As we\u2019ve seen in previous years anything can happen and as we saw Jason had two DNF\u2019s and I came out leading.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Crash.net Could you talk a little bit about the battles you had in 2021, particularly the main battle which was with Jason O\u2019Halloran, but also with the likes of Tommy Bridewell and Christian Iddon because we\u2019ve seen this year; if you take WorldSBK for example and the incredible fight between two riders; Razgatlioglu and Rea, but then also in F1 you have Verstappen and Hamilton. So from your perspective how was your title battle?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Mackenzie: &#8220;I think it was pretty much all fair. I think some weekends Bridewell might have been stronger than Christian, then Christian might have been stronger than Tommy. We might have got to Oulton Park and been a little bit weaker and Tommy was a little bit stronger, so everyone had their strong tracks, but there was never a week-in-week-out scenario where we were going at each other&#8217;s throats really.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That was mainly me and Jason at the end of the season before the showdown. But what I really liked going into Brands and we mentioned it in the pre-interview, was that with 26 points between us, I was leading and Tommy was fourth 26 points behind I think and we went into a track at Brands Hatch where I won a race in the middle of the year, Christian had won a race, Jason won a race, I think Tommy was on the podium twice so everyone was strong.\u00a0<\/p>\n<aside>\n<div class=\"block\">\n<div class=\"mpu-block\">\n<div class=\"mpu-title\"><span>Article continues below<\/span><span>ADVERTISEMENT<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<aside>\n<div class=\"block\">\n<div class=\"mpu-block\">\n<div class=\"mpu-title\"><span>Article continues below<\/span><span>ADVERTISEMENT<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<p>&#8220;What I liked about who was going to be champion was that it was fair going into it, no one had a real advantage over the other one really. Came away from Donington Park where Christian had three podiums I think and Tommy was strong.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It was just fair and that\u2019s the best way to describe it. Even during the weekend, there were no red flags, no one crashed aside from Christian in the last race. There were no coming togethers and no long lap penalties and that\u2019s what was nice for me.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;To win a championship was great, but to do it in that way and everything be fair was the right way for me. I wouldn\u2019t have liked it if Tommy had crashed and gifted it to me really or something like that. We\u2019re all rivals on track but we all get on with each other off track. There\u2019s no bitterness between us.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure> <source srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.crash.net\/AK7I7887.jpg?width=1920&amp;format=webp 1920w,https:\/\/cdn.crash.net\/AK7I7887.jpg?width=1800&amp;format=webp 1800w,https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/ak7i7887.jpg&amp;format=webp 1600w,https:\/\/cdn.crash.net\/AK7I7887.jpg?width=1500&amp;format=webp 1500w,https:\/\/cdn.crash.net\/AK7I7887.jpg?width=1200&amp;format=webp 1200w,https:\/\/cdn.crash.net\/AK7I7887.jpg?width=900&amp;format=webp 900w,https:\/\/cdn.crash.net\/AK7I7887.jpg?width=800&amp;format=webp 800w,https:\/\/cdn.crash.net\/AK7I7887.jpg?width=600&amp;format=webp 600w,https:\/\/cdn.crash.net\/AK7I7887.jpg?width=400&amp;format=webp 400w\" sizes=\"(min-width:1024px) 710px, (min-width:768px) 62vw, 97vw\" type=\"image\/webp\" \/><\/figure>\n<aside>\n<div class=\"block\">\n<div class=\"mpu-block\">\n<div class=\"mpu-title\"><span>Article continues below<\/span><span>ADVERTISEMENT<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<aside>\n<div class=\"block\">\n<div class=\"mpu-block\">\n<div class=\"mpu-title\"><span>Article continues below<\/span><span>ADVERTISEMENT<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<p>Crash.net: Do you think that\u2019s crucial in a title battle; not needing to be best friends with everyone, but to have that level of respect when you go racing?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Mackenzie: &#8220;Yeah I think so! You\u2019ve seen rivalries in the past, especially in MotoGP where they don\u2019t get on and I think everyone sitting at home knows they don\u2019t get on. Me and Jason have had a couple of coming togethers the last two years but we\u2019ve always had a mutual respect and good sportsmanship between us.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Especially for me and Jason being teammates and being employed to do the same thing which is to win a championship, it\u2019s hard to be friends. But we\u2019ve spent a bit of time in the off-season at Yamaha do\u2019s, went to Italy together. Christian and Tommy I\u2019ve known for a long time but it\u2019s hard to be a bit of a friendship with them &#8211; they\u2019re a little bit older than me, but we\u2019ve always got on well off track.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think BSB kind of attracts that. It\u2019s amazing racing, it\u2019s competitive, but off the track we can shake hands and have a laugh about it really. I think if it was a strong rivalry like we\u2019ve seen now with Hamilton and Verstappen &#8211; they obviously hate each other and it\u2019s going down to the last round and on equal points.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">&#8220;They will probably do anything and everything to win and that\u2019s when it\u2019s not nice. But it makes it so exciting to watch. Watching it is great, but when you\u2019re involved in it it\u2019s not so nice.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<aside>\n<div class=\"block\">\n<div class=\"mpu-block\">\n<div class=\"mpu-title\"><span>Article continues below<\/span><span>ADVERTISEMENT<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<aside>\n<div class=\"block\">\n<div class=\"mpu-block\">\n<div class=\"mpu-title\"><span>Article continues below<\/span><span>ADVERTISEMENT<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<p>Crash.net: Just looking ahead to next season you re-signed with McAMS Yamaha, so how pleasing was it to get that done?<\/p>\n<p>Mackenzie: &#8220;Yeah it\u2019s really nice for me. Coming back to BSB with the number one plate is going to be a new experience and I\u2019m really looking forward to that. It\u2019s going to be my fifth year with McAMS Yamaha in the Superbike class. It\u2019s a really nice opportunity and I didn\u2019t want to ride for anyone else in the UK.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">&#8220;I\u2019ve got a really good relationship with all of my crew, the team, the team sponsors and having Jason there, which you might not know but that gets announced tomorrow. But to have him as my team-mate again is great for me. I think we won something like 21 out of the 33 races which is just over two-thirds and is mad really.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">&#8220;It\u2019s just a nice team atmosphere, and although it didn\u2019t work out for Jason this year, we had such a great year as a team and if we can carry that on to next year and hopefully improve the bike a little bit then that\u2019s great. I\u2019m just looking forward to getting going again and working with these guys. Then having the three WorldSBK wildcards is something new for me which is going to be really exciting. So yeah, I\u2019m enjoying the off-season but I\u2019m looking forward to getting going again next year.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Crash.Net: You mentioned the WorldSBK stuff; how important is it for you to have those three wildcards next season and is a full-time ride in 2023 your main objective?\u00a0<\/p>\n<aside>\n<div class=\"block\">\n<div class=\"mpu-block\">\n<div class=\"mpu-title\"><span>Article continues below<\/span><span>ADVERTISEMENT<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<aside>\n<div class=\"block\">\n<div class=\"mpu-block\">\n<div class=\"mpu-title\"><span>Article continues below<\/span><span>ADVERTISEMENT<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<p>Mackenzie: &#8220;I made it no secret this year and the team were pushing hard for me to go to WorldSBK for 2022. But it just wasn\u2019t right for me to go, which is why I\u2019m really happy to stay in the UK.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">&#8220;But Yamaha has been really good with me and they\u2019re going to supply a bike from their WorldSBK program to do three wildcards which is really, really cool.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">&#8220;It will be a really nice experience for me. There\u2019s nothing set in stone as in if you do x, y and z then you\u2019re going to go in 2023, but I feel like if I have a good performance in some of these races that I\u2019m going to get to do &#8211; nine races, so nine opportunities then that will be great.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But yeah, WorldSBK is still the target. I\u2019m only 26; there are some who are younger who are racing there already, but there\u2019s also older guys that race in Superbikes, so I feel there\u2019s still time yet and I want to first come back and prove a point next season by winning the BSB title with number one plate.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">&#8220;But I also want to push on and try to move the goal post out a little bit more in WorldSBK. My hope and aim is to be there in 2023.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<aside>\n<div class=\"block\">\n<div class=\"mpu-block\">\n<div class=\"mpu-title\"><span>Article continues below<\/span><span>ADVERTISEMENT<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<aside>\n<div class=\"block\">\n<div class=\"mpu-block\">\n<div class=\"mpu-title\"><span>Article continues below<\/span><span>ADVERTISEMENT<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<p>Crash.net: With yourself being with Yamaha and the level of success they\u2019ve had across all championships this season &#8211; winning in MotoGP, WorldSBK, BSB and MotoAmerica, is staying with the team and moving to WorldSBK with Yamaha you\u2019re main priority or would you be open to joining the world championship with a different manufacturer?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Mackenzie: &#8220;I\u2019d really like to go with Yamaha. It\u2019s going to be my fifth season on a Yamaha. For me it\u2019s probably the best bike in WorldSBK at the moment and if the opportunity was there with Yamaha then that would be the perfect situation for me.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">&#8220;That would be my main goal, to go there with Yamaha. If there was a competitive bike; I don\u2019t know, I&#8217;d be surprised if I got offered something, but you don\u2019t know and if there were no opportunities with Yamaha; the goal regardless is to get to WorldSBK, but I don\u2019t want to just go there for the sake of it and ride in a sort of b\/c team.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I want to go there properly and do it properly. The main thing for me is I\u2019ve got to perform in BSB, it\u2019s not really about these wildcards. I\u2019ve got to continue the progression that I\u2019ve shown in recent years in BSB. So I just want to carry that on, have this taster of WorldSBK next year and if it\u2019s on a Yamaha for 2023 then that would be even better.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h2>In this
