1pMobile National Junior Sportbike Championship: Mackenzie storms to opening win

03 May 2026

Marley Mackenzie took the spoils in the first Junior Sportbike race as he beat Ben Jolliffe by almost eight seconds.

Luca Hopkins took an early lead but it wasn’t to last after it was clearly as a result of a jump start and by the second lap, Mackenzie was leading on his Kirkcaldy Kawasaki.

He managed to control the race all the way to the flag, crossing the line 7.923secs ahead of Ben Joliffe as Laken Payne was third. Isaac Mark took fourth with Jediah Cumbermack fourth.
