The pontential for tansponders to provide accurate times and for section times is great.
Clever types will be able to even have a guess at the weather conditions around the course as intermediate times become familiar.
I still have a problem with the cost for transponders being completely bourne by the riders particulary privateers at the Manx.
Having said that I looking forward to getting my own intermediate times for different sections...........it migt tell me where I'm going wrong and where to try and concentrate on getting better lines.
I'm not totally concinced yet but getting there but now that I've bought the things I can only hope that the system remains the same for a long time to come.
