Letter from the AIPP

A while back you might have seen our post regarding a letter we sent to the Australian International Pedal Prix. (read our letter here)

Well, a while back we've received word from them, we thought we'd let you know what they said:

1. Track busy-ness
They've said: that they have received widespread positive from many teams that the 2008 edition was the 'best ever' and that the track incidents aren't caused by the race itself.
They would love to run two tracks simultaneously, but unfortunately don't have the capacity.

2. Marshals & their equipment
They've said: they have identified points requiring double marshals and that they provide vests for all points. Excellent.

3. Tail lights
They've Agreed and the regulations regarding the tail lights were modified for this year.

4. The Cycling Crit
They've said: it's a challenging issue they are continuing to work with.

Our Positive feedback regarding Paul Richards, their timing and scrutineering procedures was well received and we are glad that the AIPP team took the time to address our concerns, not dodge the questions and do so in a clear way.
