'Morecambe Missile' John McGuinness to return to Isle of Man TT in 2025

Morecambe superbike star John McGuinness will race at the Isle of Man TT in 2025.

The 'Morecambe Missile' is set to return to the event next year, remaining with his Honda Racing UK team, for what will be his 35^th season.

John will once again line up in the iconic colours of Honda once more to compete solely in the ‘big bike’ classes, on his familiar Fireblade for the Superbike, Superstock and Senior TT classes.

His popular return to the podium at this year’s NW200 was a clear standout from his thirty-fourth season of motorcycle racing, and he and Honda look set to continue making history together for another year.

John said: ‘’There is nothing that makes me prouder than putting on my Honda top, riding for this team and representing the brand.

‘’To be there in the thick of it contributing what I can to the team and having a good go of it myself, it honestly means the world. So to get the opportunity to continue doing that for another year, I couldn’t be happier.

‘’I rode hard this year and you could say we managed to capitalise on a few scenarios to stand back on the box again, but they don’t come in Christmas crackers and you have to earn them.

‘’It was amazing really, and very humbling to get such a reaction. I always knew I was capable of another podium but when it came it was so sweet. I’m just super proud and excited to get going with the testing and get stuck in come the season start.’’
