John McGuinness fastest ahead of Superbike Isle of Man TT

Practice week of the 2012 Isle of Man TT has drawn to a close with 17-times TT winner John McGuinness at the top of the timesheets ahead of tomorrows six-lap Superbike race.

The week began well for the Honda TT Legends, with McGuinness setting the fastest laps in dry and sunny conditions in the first three superbike sessions. By Wednesday the Morecambe Missile had broken the 130mph barrier with a 130.079 lap that remained the fastest of the week.

Thursdays superbike practice was cut short due to sea mist, while the final session on Friday was cancelled after an oil spill at Barregarrow.

"We hit the ground running this week" said McGuinness. "We went out there on the first night when the conditions were great and we just got stuck in.

"I didnt feel like I was sticking my neck out, I was just hitting all the apexes and cruising around feeling really relaxed. I was hitting 128s, 129s, 130s so were definitely in the ball park." he explained.

"Its not going to be easy but Im ready to race and Im well up for it. Im starting number one so its just down to me, the stop watch and the track and hopefully we can stand in the winners enclosure.McGuinness concluded.
