I resent being called a reactionary I'm all for this new method of timing races but NOT at the expense of riders some riders at the TT this year have had to pay out for 5 of these things one for each bike thats the best part of a grand. And the whole system has failed it simply has NOT worked.
Under the old way of doing things there was no direct cost to the rider for time keeping why should there be now for a poorer service.
By the time the Manx comes round I can only hope it's working properly rumour has it that transponder timing for the Manx will now NOT be used where does that leave those of us who have already bought transponders and if the do decide to go ahead with it will every rider get a full print out of every sector time for every practice lap. We'll meet the man on the moon first before we get that.
This whole sorry mess has been a failure and once again it's the poor old rider that pays.
