McGUINNESS READY FOR HECTIC TIME

Honda UK’s World Supersport rider John McGuinness is preparing for his busiest time of the season as he contests Sunday’s British round of the
world championship at Silverstone then heads off for the Isle of Man TT races.

McGuinness will leave Silverstone immediately after the race on Sunday, taking a private flight to the Isle of Man in readiness for Monday morning’s practice session on the 37.73-mile mountain course.

The Morecambe, Lancashire rider will race a quartet of Hondas at the TT ­ a CBR600 in the Junior TT, a 954 Fireblade in the Formula One and Senior races, a CBR600 in the Production event and a 954 Fireblade in the larger Production TT.

“It¹s all a bit of a mad time,” admits McGuinness. “But we knew it would be like this so there’s no drama. I¹m really looking forward to getting back to the Isle of Man, especially after last weekend’s North-West 200 when I rode the TT machines for the first time.”

McGuinness qualified on pole position and finished second in the Supersport race. He also finished fourth in the Superbike race despite stalling the machine on the startline of the Northern Ireland event.

“But right now I’m focused on Silverstone,” he continues. “I want a strong finish in my home round of the championship.”
