Twenty-time Isle of Man TT winner John McGuinness is struggling with his wrist injury and his confidence, and could only muster a 15th place finish in today's Monster Supersport race.

The Morecambe Missile is in trouble with the scaphoid he broke on the run up to the North West 200 and life isn't getting any easier. Today's Supersport race conditions didn't help and he says he is going through the motions.

“I’m a bit disappointed today and it’s another one I’ve got to take on the chin. I thought I’d be in a stronger position in the Supersport class than I was the Superbike race but it didn’t happen and 15th isn’t a position I’m used to," said McGuinness.

"It just reflects where I am at the moment with my injury. We all want more and I’m struggling a bit with my confidence as well as with the injury so there’s a couple of things getting on top of me.”

“Despite all my years of racing here, it was hard to read the conditions over the Mountain and I couldn’t tell how wet it was. The rain was hitting my visor and screen so I gave it the benefit of doubt and backed off a bit.

"I thought I may have been able to do a better job today but the lads are riding the 600s so hard now I’m not really sure how I managed to lap at more than 127mph last year! I seem to be going through the motions a bit at the moment but I had an honest race and did the best I could on the day.”
