McGuinness arrives to watch racing

Friday, 2 June 2017 00:00

John McGuinness may not be racing this year - but he's arrived on the Island in time for race week.

The 23-time TT winner will sit out this meeting because of injury, after coming off at the Northwest 200.

But the Morecambe Missile caught the ferry to the Island yesterday.

He drew a round of applause from fellow travellers as he boarded the Manannan in Liverpool.
