According to Johns official twitter -
Not sure how serious this is, could be another high profile rider out for the foreseeable future, I don't see Hutchy being back soon either, his leg is still in a cage.
McGuinness in shock switch to Norton for TT 2018? - Bikesport News
This could be interesting, the Nortons improve every year and Josh Brookes and David Johnson finished 6th and 7th in last years Senior TT.
I do expect the BMW and Suzuki(if they are returning) to be the packages to beat though.

An absolute legend.
The only man to ever win both the 500cc world championship and the Formula 1 world championship. Still gives me chills to think about the enormity of that feat.
He won 7 motorcycle...
Is our John ( Mcphee ) ever gonna improve his times? week after week im shouting at the telly C'mon John!!! :cc_scooter: wind it up!! He such a nice guy , after COTA and after bumping into him several times for a chat he has another fan , my number 2 :)

IMO, this is the most intriguing team-mate battle in Grand Prix at the moment. They seem to be neck and neck in terms of talent, but who do you think will come out on top at the end of 2007?
I'm not a big fan of Hopper, but I'm going to back him on this one. I think the talent has always been...
