Sadly Johns injuries from last years crash at the NW200 meant he was unable to ride the Silver Machine (Norton) around the Island in a race however John did get to do a couple of display lap around the Island.
Speaking about his competitive return to the TT Mountain Course John McGuinness said: “It’s been a hard road back from the North West 200 crash and I thought we were there heading into the TT but another set back just left us a few weeks short. I absolutely loved doing the two parade laps this year and the reaction I got from the fans was amazing. The next big target for me was always the Classic TT, and everything is going in to being fully fit and prepared for a proper return to racing."
He continued by saying: “I’m buzzing about the whole thing really. I love the Classic TT atmosphere and I really enjoy working with Roger Winfield and his team and their Paton is a joy to ride around Mountain Circuit. I’m not going to make any predictions on how competitive we are going to be, but when I rode the Norton at the TT, the feeling was good and, above all else, I just want to be out there with the rest of the guys again, going as fast as we can and putting on a good show for the fans. If we get a result out of it then that will be a bonus on this occasion.”
John(and his family) will be ‘trekking’ over to Durham from their family home in Morecambe to once again support the BikeWise event
