I`m not completely against the leccy bike, after all it will be the way to go eventually, not in my life time I hope!! But isn`t practice supposed to be for the bike as well as the rider? These bikes will be going on to the TT course for the very first time - in a race! Surely with normal bikes a rider has to practice to prove that the bike and rider are fast enough to qualify on each bike they intend to race. Not in the case of the leccy bikes it seems!
