MGM Ducati boss Michael Galinski heaped praise on Tarran Mackenzie after the team’s difficult 2025 WorldSBK season.
MGM Ducati boss Michael Galinski praised Tarran Mackenzie for lifting the team during the challenging 2025 WorldSBK season. The team faced financial difficulties due to issues with former sponsor Bonovo, almost leading them to withdraw from the series. Scott Redding’s departure mid-season left MGM without a rider, but Mackenzie’s arrival brought a wave of positive energy and resilience to the team. Galinski expressed confidence in Mackenzie’s skills and confirmed the desire to continue the partnership into the 2026 season aboard the new Ducati Panigale V4 R. Mackenzie closed the season with strong performances, culminating in his best WorldSBK result so far at the Jerez finale.
