John McGuinness by Stephen Davison
The 2013 Senior win was a real milestone, my twentieth TT win. I have stood on more podiums on the Island than anyone else now. I fully accept that one day I won’t be at the pointy end but there is still a big part of me that’s determined to win.’ John McGuiness In this new edition of the bestselling book, legendary TT rider John McGuinness tells his story in his own words, right up to and including the 2014 season. Featuring over 150 of Stephen Davison’s stunning photographs, the book charts every part of McGuinness’s TT career, from his first trips to the island as a teenager when he stowed away on the ferry from Heysham on his BMX bike, to the heady days when he stood along side his childhood hero Joey Dunlop on the podium, and his subsequent wins and lap records. This updated edition is packed with new material, including a new introduction by Stephen Davison and two new chapters on the 2013 and 2014 seasons. John McGuinness: TT Legend is a unique opportunity to share in the highs and lows of McGuinness’s record-breaking career, to discover the behind-the-scenes story of the much-loved Morecambe Missile and to experience the magic and excitement of the sport in the company of the world’s most famous road racer.
