Honda rider explains move to number five
23-time TT winner John McGuinness says it was time for a change of number at TT 2017.
He will start the two big bike races at number five instead of being first away.
With the exception of the Joey Dunlop tribute in 2013, McGuinness has carried the number one plate since 2011.
He says it also may give him other options in the races:-
