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:-
Triathlon: Will Draper to make third world tour wildcard appearance
Manxman to contest T100 race in Dubai this weekend
Snooker: St Olave's take maximum points to go top
Hurricanes also take big win to move into second
Davey Todd tops free practice at Macau
Hickman and Hodson also inside top three
Pool: International Grand Finals gets underway at Comis Hotel
Players competing from across the UK and beyond
