Career

Early life

McPhee was born in Oban.

Moto3 World Championship

For 2012, McPhee entered three rounds (5, 6 and 12) as a wildcard rider with the Racing Steps Foundation KRP Honda. For Round 14 onwards he raced with Caretta Technology replacing Alexis Masbou who broke his leg in a testing accident. McPhee raced his KRP Honda chassis with the Honda NSF250R engine fitted.

McPhee signed for Racing Team Germany for the 2013 season, replacing the Moto2 bound Louis Rossi. McPhee finished 19th and 13th in his first two seasons with the team. In 2015, McPhee took his first podium finish with a second place at Indianapolis; in a wet-to-dry race, McPhee pitted at the end of the formation lap for slick tyres, and finished almost 40 seconds behind race winner Livio Loi, who had started on slicks.[1]

In 2016 McPhee had a difficult year on the team's new Peugeot bike, which proved uncompetitive in the dry. However the Scot had several good results in wet conditions; 7th in Argentina, 6th in Germany. Then in the Czech Republic he took the lead when championship leader Brad Binder crashed out, and despite a big moment on the penultimate lap held on for his first ever Grand Prix victory.

Later in the year in Australia, McPhee was running in third place when he lost the front at Lukey Heights on lap 6, and was run over by Andrea Migno and Enea Bastianini who were running right behind him. The race was red flagged and John was taken to hospital in Melbourne, where he was diagnosed with concussion, a broken thumb and a punctured lung. The injuries meant McPhee spent nearly 2 months in Australia before he was able to fly home to Scotland.

McPhee had a successful 2017 riding for the new British Talent Team, which included 3 podium finishes and a pole position in Argentina. He ultimately finished the season 7th in the standings.
