Tyco Suzuki boss Philip Neill has said he expects a podium from rider Guy Martin in tomorrow's Senior TT after a lacklustre campaign on the island so far.

Martin hasn't worried the rostrum all week and it is telling that Neill has jumped to the defence of the machinery on which the Lincolnshire man hasn't yet performed.

"We will be expecting a podium finish from Guy tomorrow. The second Supersport race was not a good one for him and didn't return the result we had hoped for. We are still evaluating what went wrong, but despite what has been said, the GSX-R600 is a more than competitive package as we have shown in British Championship and also recently at the North West 200," he said.
