I think that Neil visulised (no pun) the Big Screens only as a aid to the spectators and teams already on the Island. Good idea for some big sponsor to gain coverage and save some of those horrible stickers all over the bikes.

What was said about staging actual "TV events" is very problematic as you become a slave to the networks.

I remember in the 1960s, with the BBC Grandstand and ITV World of Sport, when we put on frequent winter scrambles. Very often the riders were held on the start line for many minutes, in the freezing cold, waiting for a delayed horse race somewhere in the country to finish, before they could start.
