McGuinness never expected to win another 'big bike' race

Sun, 05 Jun 2011

John McGuinness says he never expected to win a 'big bike' race again.

The Morcambe man claimed his 16th TT victory in the opening race of TT 2011.

After the race, the Honda TT Legends rider revealed he'd been stressed about it all week, and took a little while to settle down in the race.

In the end, he finished a minute ahead of closest rival Cameron Donald.

McGuinness told RadioTT the support from fans was much appreciated.[Play media file below]
