Billy MacKenzie's CAS Honda MX1 grand prix debut saw the Scotsman - who will celebrate his 24th birthday tomorrow - just miss out on a podium position as he finished in fourth place overall at the opening race of the MX1 season after two grueling 35 minute plus two lap motos at the Valkenswaard circuit situated 10 kilometers from the Dutch city of Eindhoven.
All is ready at the sandy Valkenswaard Eurocircuit, in the Southern part of The Netherlands, for the first MX1 World Championship round of the 2008 season, which will be full of surprises.
