I was just wondering that, peter.  I might be up for this if they do.  My new bike is about 1/3rd of the weight of the old one.  (Fujin SLII).

Have they banned 'bents? 'cos an HPV team could kick bottom.


Via the wonder of the google oracle:

Bicycles not allowed: Tandems, bicycles lying, bicycles against the clock, bicycles fixed and gabled handbike 3 wheels.

So I'm guessing tandems, 'bents, time-trial bikes, fixies and 3 wheel handbikes are all not allowed.

cant help thinking that the nurburing 24h cycle make more sense. Le mans is too short and small to have team of 8 doing it.
Might it be more efficient to not change every lap though?

But even so the extra speed and size is going to make some aspects "interesting".

Might be better and easier to try to have several teams of 4.
Still a long way away anyway...
