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:-
Hockey: Compact mixed schedule on the cards this weekend
Multiple relegation scraps to take place across divisions
Rugby: Busy triple-header beckons at Ballafletcher
Douglas to welcome Kirkby Lonsdale in Regional 2 North West
Football: Race for Railway Cup qualification hotting up
Four points separates premier league top five going into the weekend
Cycling: Expressions of interest open for 2027 Island Games squad
Riders sought to represent Isle of Man in the Faroe Islands
