TT star Ian Hutchinson says he’ll be in a 'different place' at next year's race meet.

The Honda Racing rider says he's happy he was able to race again but admitted this TT had 'not been easy'.

The Bingley rider broke his leg in an incident at TT last year and spent much of the next 12 months wearing an external leg frame. 

Hutchy completed 39 laps of the TT Mountain Course during the festival fortnight – although he wasn’t able to complete all six laps of the Senior on Friday.

Speaking afterwards he said: "We've got a lot of data from this week but I am not sure how much we'll be able to use going into next year as I'll be in a different place with my injury and my riding style will change.

"But it's positive and I feel we've got a good package, so I'll go away and get myself back to full fitness and get more miles on the bikes for next year."
