To bookend his season we headed down to deepest darkest Ashby de la Zouch to round up Taz’s season and get the low down on just how difficult it has been at times for the 2021 BSB Champion. From the lows, of which there were a few, to the highs of a race win and a Suzuka podium, we cover it all, including asking the all important question… ‘Was there a point in the season when you thought “What have I done?!”‘ His answer? Well, you’ll have to watch and find out… 😀

Every bit as good as I expected with Taz I have no clue but I would think that at the age Taz was when he won the Brit championship like with any racer that's a box ticked so then it's look forward to the next level and that has to be world championships just as you guys say getting there is no easy thing and firstly you have to be in the paddock and be on the radar cos my guess is they ain't going to come looking for you .I can't wait to see Taz on the superbike grid next season and see how things go for him it's gonna be great .Awesome interview Dave well done to all involved as always
Great chat with Taz, who always entertains. Really enjoyed that one, but then I enjoy all your podcasts Dave. Can't wait til the season starts, got a feeling next year will be really good with so many riders changes, roll on Feb
Always love seeing Taz. Such an infectious attitude and mega positive. Proof nice guys don’t always finish last 🤘🏻🖤
Taz back on a superbike, fantastic ! Can’t wait for the season to start 👍🏻
15.22 Mad Mark is outside
Great chat, so pleased it's worked out well for him. All three of the Mackenzie's are such nice people and no doubt mum is too keeping them in line! 😁
Fantastico Championé
Thanks Dave good chat with the wee man. Such a nice chap , level , grounded bloke. Have a great Christmas , I look forward to the next vlog.
Thank you Dave another brilliant podcast, love the MacKenzie family can’t wait for your chat with Taylor
Thanks Dave for another great chat, hope there’s many more in 24 👍👍
If he’s not injured or knocked off, I think Marc will win every sprint in 24 on the Ducati!
great video , seems like such a goood fellow.
Thanks Dave, only seems a blink of an eye since I watched Taz in his plain white helmet on a 125!
