John McGuinness admits he was “not feeling it at all” before Monday’s 2025 Isle o🍰f Man TT Superbike race, 🍎in which he was seventh on the works Honda.

The 23-time TT winner has had a tricky practice week and was off the pace at the start of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:the four-lap Superbike contest on ꦯMonda♕y.

Dropping outside of the top 10 at one stage, McGuinness rallied to ❀score a top seven result on his Honda Fireblade.

Commenting after the race, he said he “needed that” result to get his head right🌌.

“I just needed that,” he told TT+.

“It’s weird. I’ve b🤡een racing here since 1996 and I’m just not feeling i♔t at all.

“I’m struggling all the way through, and some damp patches [in practice] and I was 𓃲a little bit scared.

“But conditions were good and I was wearing number one to go ꧋away number one on the Honda.

“I was a bit of a sitting du🥂ck, everyo📖ne caught me up.

“But honestly Iꦬ did my best, I hit all my spots. I had a little bit of a lazy start, then a good pitstop.

“And it’s ne♌ver over till it’s over. You’ve just got to keep fighting, keep pushing𓃲. I enjoyed the race and that’s what racing’s about for me.”

McGuinness added: “Dean [Harrison] passed me going into Schoolhouse on lap one, I g𝕴ot a bit of a tow behind.

“But then thඣe bike jumped into a false neutral around the Waterworks.

“So, I lost the tow off Dean. It got a bit scrappy at♛ the 🃏start, and then I was like ‘come on’.

“I just took some deep breaths and thought w🐎e’re good in the pits, Honda’s good on fuel, so I thꦏought we would be stationary less than the other guys.

“Sꦑo, we were in and out, and then just kept going.

“And I just said I’ve got to keep concentrating right to th♊e end.

“I saw P9, P7 aജnd I thought ‘it’s alright, this’. It’s nice to see single digits.

“When I saw P14 I thought ‘oไh no, I’ll be getting a P45 at this rate’. The nice thing is the team just said ‘go and enjoy yourself’. I can’t ask for any more than that.”

McGuinness didn’t take part in 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:♏Monda𝐆y afternoon’s Supersport race, as he is only r😼iding in the Superbi🌳ke and Superstock classes this year.
