There are no prizes for guessing why the Honda TT Legends team is called just that with riders like John McGuinness and Keith Amor on board.
They have been preparing their Honda CBR1000RR models for the 2011 Isle of Man Tourist Trophy after a season of endurance qualifying which recently saw them at Albacete.
McGuinness has so far set the fastest lap time at the Tourist Trophy, in front of teammate Amor (whose back protection McGuinness had borrowed because he couldn’t find his own just before race start), and with East Coast Racing Honda rider Gary Johnson coming in third.
McGuinness says:Having done all the Endurance racing, I feel really race sharp and the bike’s feeling a million dollars so I’m glad we’re all up and running now and can look forward to the rest of practice week in a good frame of mind.
