    You can use one bike I'm pretty sure.

    And it's in no way three segmented races. There is one transponder that must change bike if you wish to run 3 bikes.

    Also three bikes were advisable due to safety. With 90% of the teams amateur there's a lot of risk with wheel changes etc.

    It's an awesome format, and some top racers turned out for it last year. Don't knock it until you try it.

    Bikes are doing a third of the work. So the endurance element is removed from them.

    You can use one bike. There's a three minute penalty every time the wheels come out though.

    i can remember at prize giving joan gibbes asking sally steadman in front of the crowd to describe it,


    yip that would work.
    I was on the starting grid for that race and got the full view!!! As fun as it was, it was not exactly a view that needed repeating!
