Honda UK Motorcycles have just announced (maybe the worst kept secret) their line up for the 2022 Road Racing Season and John McGuinness is back in the saddle of a Fireblade.
The full Press Release is available here : https://www.honda.co.uk/engineroom/bikes/john-mcguinness-back-on-the-blade/
McPint will be partnered up with Northern Irishman Glenn Irwin who plans on making his TT Debut in 2022. Glen has shown some real talent on the roads already with some cracking results at the North West 200, including taking the big one on a Ducati, Covid has since limited him to the track, but It is safe to say he will have the best mentor currently on the roads, and with only three TT wins being the difference between McGuinness and Road Racing Royalty Joey Dunlop I think It is fairly safe to say this is a massive year for both McGuinness and Honda Racing.
Only yesterday did we get confirmation of the TT 2022 Schedule, but with two years racing having escaped the Island I’m sure there will be loads more breaking news this side of the new year!
