On February 15, 2022, road racing legend John McGuinness stopped by Windsor Castle to pick up his Member of the Order of the British Empire medal. Princess Anne presided over a ceremony of investiture, at which the MBE was officially awarded to McGuinness for his services to motorcycle racing.
The 23-time Isle of Man TT winner was smiling and full of good cheer—and also an announcement he hadn’t made before. At 49 years old, he’s usually not the youngest racer in any paddock in 2022—but regardless, he’s a veritable fixture at the TT. 2022 will be no different, as he’s planning to line up at the start just like all his competition.
