TT legend John McGuinness has confirmed he will enter this year's Lightweight TT on an RLR-prepared Honda CBR500R after feeling left out in 2012.

The Morecambe Missile, who has 19 wins under his belt, will try to break the current strangehold Kawasaki has on the class with a 1-2-3 last time out.

"It was strange sitting on the sidelines last year while the race was on, particularly as the Senior was cancelled as well. It's an interesting class and will present different challenges to the other races but I'm looking forward to having a crack. The team undoubtedly has a lot to do in a short space of time to be ready but I've got every faith in them," said McPint.
