John McGuinness has won 23 TT races and garnered a career’s worth of Mountain course knowledge along the way. I’ve heard him talk through a lap to young riders making their debut, telling them about manhole covers to avoid and cambers that can catch out the unwary. Stuff that only someone who knew that 37¾ miles of tarmac like the back of his hand could know.
