Electric bikes are racing on Monday or Wednesday at 4.30pm. One lap race with £10,000 to whoever does it quicker than a 100mph average apparently.

Be surprised if they hit 100mph average last year - I think the winner last year was high 80's

But that was a year ago and in any new technology it comes on leaps and bounds in the first couple of years. I think a 100 mph lap could be a possibility!

So no Norton then? That died a death pretty quickly. Shame.

Norton are building the NEW rotary engine and will be back next year. The Norton from last year was practically a museum piece from the early 90's they reserected but it was well outgunned

I'm fuming along with him. Its a joke!

Someone start a Facebook Group or summat!

Seriously though, 30 seconds for such a ridiculous speed infringement. What is the margin of error on the gun used?

Bring back the failsafe foot-down-stop and reinstate his original position!

I'm really routing for Guy this year and i seriously thought he'd got the win.

I hope he stuffs them later in the week. From the 600 race it seemed to make him hungrier. And to lose by 3 seconds has only helped that for the next race.
