23-time winner says several factors in slightly slower pace
John McGuinness admits it was a 'tricky' evening in last night's second TT qualifying session.
The 'Morecambe Missile' set a best speed of 126.881mph on the Honda Racing superbike and a time of 17 minutes 50.517 seconds.
That time was just under 11 seconds slower than the pace he set on the opening day - Monday saw him set a faster time than he did throughout TT 2022.
But McGuinness says there were numerous factors in slowing the pace on Tuesday and insists he's happy with his machines right now:
