John McGuinne𝐆ss picked up a not insignificant speeding fine when in Italy recently, while attending the a𓄧nnual flat track race put on by Valentino Rossi.

McGuinness, hardly a stranger to going fast on the roads as a 23-time race winner at the Isle of Man TT, was fined €87 – or ൲around £75 – for speedi🍷ng on a recent trip to Italy.

The Honda R𝐆acing UK rider, who will be 53-years-old by the time he lines up on the grid for this year’s TT, was in eastern Italy to attend Valentino Rossi’s Motor Ranch ♍and the 100km dei Campioni race.

McGuinness had played a role in Tim and Tom Neave racing the event in 2023, and was back this year❀ as Tom was mechanic to Tim.

Neave was paired with Finnish enduro star Lasse Kurvinen, the two finishing the event – which was won by Motไo2’s Diogo Moreira and eight-times Supermoto World Champion Thomas 🅺Chareyre – in 14th place.

Michael Dunlop, who surpassed McGuinness’ 23-win tot🌞al at the TT in 2023 and who went on to bring his tally to 29 at this years event, raced the 100km dei Campioni for the first time this year, finishing in 23rd and last position with his teammate: well-known road racing fan Pedro Acosta, who will be kicking off his second season in the MotoGP World Championship in just over a month’s time at the Thai Grand Prix on 28 February–2 March.
