Manxman Conor Cummins has said he feels no pressure and has no expectations for his return to the Isle of Man TT early next month, saying he will go and do his own thing to see where he ends up.

The Ramsey man, who suffered multiple fractures in a huge crash last year, secured a solid finish in the only Northwest 200 race run on Saturday, finishing tenth in the Supersport outing.

"I'm happy enough with that finish and the whole week has gone well for me. Obviously, the weather made it a bit tricky in practice and it was also my first time out on the McAdoo bikes so I just kept it safe and steady although I was quite surprised to be best placed on the Supersport machine as that's not really my best class," said Cummins.

"All three bikes were working well though and I was just looking forward to getting some solid rides under my belt. Sadly, all the problems on race day put paid to that but in the race I did have, I was really pleased with the outcome and it was good to get back into the groove of racing on the roads again."

"Guy and Lee were swapping places out there quite a bit so I didn't want to get caught up in any of that and kept a watching brief behind them. I felt really comfortable and tenth first time back on the roads was very pleasing. to say the least.

"The TT will, naturally, be a lot tougher but everything's going in the right way and I'll look forward to having another good, solid meeting there. There's no pressure or expectations so I'll just go and do my own thing and see where I end up."
