Puncture robs John McGuinness of Classic TT win: ‘I didn’t deserve that’
Isle of Man TT legend John McGuinness was robbed of a chance to win the Historic Senior race at the 2025 Classic TT due to a rear puncture during Friday’s event. McGuinness, a 23-time TT winner, led the race on his Paton 500 but had to pit in after losing the lead at Cronk ny Mona. He expressed disappointment over the puncture, which affected his performance on the mountain section of the course. This was McGuinness’s second puncture on the Paton 500 during the Classic TT, with the first occurring during practice week. Despite the setback, McGuinness used his vast experience to navigate the tricky conditions and pushed hard before the puncture ended his race prematurely. Mike Browne ultimately won the race from Adam McLean.
