Baldyman 6,243 Posted July 7, 2023 (edited) This year I don't think transponders are mandatory,,and even if they were,, they don't register till the headstock is over the start/finish line,,,, Edited July 7, 2023 by Baldyman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know they have to be fitted to the bikes prior to the season & then would be able to be used, after testing, around mid June. I remember seeing a report that a rider beating another rider by 0.001 of a second but can not remember the placings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Every Foxhall match this season where King has been paid for double figures, Ipswich have won. Every match (bar one) where he’s been below that mark, they’ve lost. He is absolutely the pivot of the side. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Planned but not fully utilised I believe Although given Leicester for example can't even run a 2 min clock on the centre green it may be some time yet for a full suite of modern technology Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
