John McGuinness out of 2018 TT?

According to Twitter:

“Not sure what to say...unfortunately my leg has had a bit of set back, sorry not said sooner...Iv just been trying to get my head around it all 1st !!! To say I’m gutted is an understatement”

To be honest I thought it was always a bit optimistic for this year, its not as if he is a fit 20 year old GP racer made of rubber, things take time to heal when you are older.

Why the question mark in the thread title?

It’s a shame, but as I said on the other thread I don’t think he’s likely to race again, the crash was a career ender. It’s good if it does end this way though, as injury is a lot better than what could’ve happened.

[Dibble]

Yes. Straight from the horse’s mouth.

I saw it in Dibble's thread yesterday.

Real shame!

No Bruce either

Some nice rides out there on the Norton and RCV though! Might not be at the very very front but both are bikes I’d want to ride more than a BMW/Kwak/Honda just as they are interesting

Because it doesn’t say he’s not racing, but he’s had a set back. He could still go out for a wobble round on the Norton, even if he’s off the pace.

Ah right, I’ve not got twitter so based it on Dibbles thread where he’s in the next bed to him in hospital at the moment and McGuinness has said he’s out for the year.

Correct decision. It's daft enough doing it when fully fit.
