This year, the 52-year-old will only participate in the big bike classes on a Honda CBR1000RR-R in the Superbike TT, Superstock TT's and the Senior TT.

Across the two-day test at Circuito de Navarra, McGuinnes completed 107 laps throughout the four sessions on Sunday and Monday.

"I’ve spent six days riding in the last seven, which is just so, so great," McGuinness said after appearing at the Navarra Test.

"We’re lucky boys to get the opportunity to do so many miles, and miles make smiles!

"To get everyone back together and to be working so well is great because, let's face it, it’s a lot of time living in each other's pockets!

"But everyone is getting on great and working hard. We’ve been up, down and round the houses with settings and testing bits and bobs.

"I’ve done a lot of tyre testing too, and it is great to see that Metzeler are putting so much into it and not standing still, because these options that we have tried this weekend have been very good and the new product is strong.

"For me, the bike is great, the bike is competitive, and this time last year, we hadn’t had much time on the bike, so we are in a really good place.

"There’s no magic wand for me, I just want to keep riding, keep smiling and go racing."
