John McGuinness admitted that his fir🔯st𒉰 laps at the 2025 Isle of Man TT were marred by the poor weather.

Tuesday’s session went ahead as untimed practice allowing McGuiness and co൲ their first look at the Mountain Course.

But, although they were able to get some initial prep🌳aration und✃er their belts, McGuinness was honest about the challenges.

2025 Isle of Man TT: Full practice and race schedule

“I didn’t really enjoy it to be honest, it’s really pat🐟chy everywhere,” he told the Belfast Newsletter.

“It’s tricky and I didn’t enjoy it, but it was good to get some base on the bike and we tried a few d💜ifferent tyres and eliminated a few things.

“It was quite hard to see as well but we’ve got some laps in and a four o’clock this afternoon I couldn’t believe we were going to g🌺o.

“The conditions were better than I thought they were going to be 📖but still a little bit sketchy, bu𝓡t we got some laps under our belt, sleep on it and we’ll go tomorrow.”

McG💯uinness is a 23-time TT race winner and a legend of the famous event. He remains competitive, aged 53.

He is a part of a two-rider Honda Racing UK line-up with Dean Harr✱ison who also found the conditions on Tuesday to be difficult.

Honda boss Havier Beltran said: “Dean went out on the 600cc. Two laps down, he came in and said ‘it’s p💝retty sketchy out there’.

“He had a good c🌌hat with John about the areas to roll off, and where it’s a bit risky or apprehensive.

“I am pleased we managed toꦓ run the Superbike after the weather we had. It’s not ideal but at least we 💖got some laps, and we’re able to see what’s going on.”

Beltran insisted that Harrison, prioritising Supersport machinery this year at the TT and in the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:British Superbike Championship, is one to watch.

“Look what Dean was able to do at the North West 🐻200 - five podiums in six🃏 races,” he said.

“He’s on a roll, even in BSB, so we’re keen to carry on that m�♈�omentum.

“From las🔯t year, when Dean ran on the Superbike in BSB, we discussed running the 600cc.

“It’s a good move for him. It enable꧑d him to push hard, work hard, at BSB consistently.

“That can roll inꦗto the North West 200 and everyt✨hing else.”
