Ashcourt racing at the manx - H2pots - 02-08-2023 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=IaIPflowxQ8 Interesting vlog from Lee Johnston above. Preps on the rc45 his team are competing the classic superbike mgp on. Lee not riding (obviously) but clues to the pilot. They're moving the gear change to the right hand side and mounting a thumb brake, but keeping the suspense going by not announcing the rider. Who do you think? I'm guessing either Hutchy or Mcpint. I'm not sure but isn't Mcpint a right gear changer since his injuries? RE: Ashcourt racing at the manx - captainsparkledotcom - 02-08-2023 My first thought was Hutchy, same neck of the woods etc.? but, he lost his licence for 12 months, after his stroke at the end of February. Not sure about John McPint, I would have thought Padgetts could have given him a ride anytime, specially now, we'll have to wait & see. Anyway, it gives the fans something to talk about! RE: Ashcourt racing at the manx - Sam Pato - 02-08-2023 Mark Johns had a right gear shift if memory serves. Sponsored Brian Gardner's RC45 for a while. I'd guess he'd be a unlikely pilot though :-) RE: Ashcourt racing at the manx - Nasher - 02-08-2023 Pretty sure Nathan Harrison has a fused left ankle - could he be riding it?

That's a strong suggestion, makes sense, Honda rider, no official team at the manx, on a well prepped rc45, keen to be back in action, healed from injuries..... That could be the mystery rider LJ is teasing us with RE: Ashcourt racing at the manx - captainsparkledotcom - 02-08-2023 I'll happily go along with Nathan Harrison. He did say "Can’t wait to get back round the TT course again at the centenary Manx Grand Prix in just over a months time. " RE: Ashcourt racing at the manx - captainsparkledotcom - 09-08-2023 Nathan Harrison! (we knew! 😉) https://manxgrandprix.co.uk/latest/page/harrison-to-pilot-ashcourt-racing-rc45/ |
