From what I've read, the bike went into neutral on a downshift coming into the corner.  He has to have in the back of his mind how the bike tossed John and now him.  I am not sure this new Fireblade is TT ready yet, to be honest.  I sure do want to see Guy race and I'm glad he's back, but the way this Honda story has played out this year seems to say this bike is still not in shape for the course.

There was onboard footage on the ITV highlights last night. He did end up in neutral, although the commentary team were speculating it could be rider error. I doubt it. He is too experienced to make that mistake, and the gearbox should not be susceptible to false neutrals. Once he was in neutral is was game over. Lucky boy.

Interesting that he referred to it as a 'Jonah' of a bike bike, and stated it didn't like him or McGuinness. He was unusually sedate. Not like Honda to get this so wrong.
