John McGuinness admits he was “not feeling 🦩it at all” before Monday’s 💖2025 Isle of 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5最新开奖结果:the four-lap Superbi꧒ke contest on Mo🅷nday.

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

Commenting after the race, he said he꧒ “needed that” result to get his head right.

“I just needed that,” he told TT+.

“It’s weird.🌠 I’ve been racing here since 1996 and I’m just not feeling it at all.

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

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

“I was a bit of a sitting duck, everyone caught me u🧸p.

“But honestly I did my best, I hit all my spots. I had a little bit of a lazy start, then a good pit💙st꧑op.

“And it’s never over till it’s over. You’ve just got to keep fighting, keep pushing. I enjo꧃yed the race and that’s what racing’s abouꦓt for me.”

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

“But then the bike ju✨mped into a false neutral around the Waterworks.

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

“I just t🍷ook some deep breaths and thought we’re good in the pits, Honda’s good on fuel, so I thought we would be stationary less than the other guys.

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

“And I just said I’ve g🍰ot to keep concentrating right to the🧸 end.

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

“When I saw P14 I𒊎 thought ‘oh 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5最新开奖结果:Monday afternoon’s Supersport race✤, as he is only r🔯iding in the Superbike and Superstock classes this year.
