BartoszZmarzlikFan Posted October 7, 2021 Report Share Posted October 7, 2021 We’re in trouble if MPT has a bad one Wolves tie to lose imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERACE Posted October 7, 2021 Report Share Posted October 7, 2021 This match really depends on MPT, if he's fully fit then boro should win but if not then I fancy Wolves. I think boro have gone for a guest at number 2 due to the gamble on mpt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That just doesn’t make any sense to me. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrismorton Posted October 7, 2021 Report Share Posted October 7, 2021 I wonder if MPT has considered swapping his clutch and throttle over on his handle bars!...seriously though I hope he rides..he's been the heart of our team this season...it all hinges on this imo..

His four rides are well spaced out and with no RR he may only need to take those four rides , Think it was Jimmy Beaton who rode for Glasgow in the 80s that had both the throttle and clutch on the same side of the handlebars he adapted well to continue riding for a few years in this manner , no one borrowed hes bike during a meeting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure we've had conversations on here in the past describing how riders have put the clutch lever on the right i.e. on the same side as the throttle. I've always had some difficulty imaging how this can work but apparently it is possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct would have to have a crash in meeting and sustain injury. If MPT did 1 ride and withdrew they could use Bjarne Pedersen for his other 3 rides. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beowulf Posted October 7, 2021 Report Share Posted October 7, 2021 If MPT is 50/50 then that is a risk and in that case the guest is the much safer option, albeit with limited options. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's correct he did, I could be mistaken but I think it was the 73 KO cup final run-off when he beat Anders Michanek in what was the best race, bar none, I have ever seen, the lead changing hands on every bend for 4 laps, PC grabbing victory on the line.
