As the Anti Cycle Union are insisting that all riders in the TTXGP have National Road Race & Mountain Course licences, I doubt (hope) that this thing will not get off the ground.

Is there going to be supplementary training for marshals - I know how to handle a wrecked petrol powered bike, but not one of these things (maximum permitted voltage 1000v., potentially more battery acid than we're used to dealing with etc.)

Whilst I'm not anti alternative fuels, the most demanding road racing course in the world is not the place to experiment.

I also find it amazing that time can be found for separate pracice sessions for TTXGP, but not for pure bred racing bikes, which again are consigned to Billown.
