With a few hundred thousand in the bank, you think CTT could invest
Why? It achieves precisely nothing, because it still needs a time keeper to do a manual back up. We time to whole seconds, so there's no call for greater precision. Transponder timing is a solution in search of a problem which time trialling simply doesn't have.

You're right, still need a manual time keeper. However in 10 years from now, will it still be manual? I'd doubt it. So it's a case of when and how it'll be phased in. It might be measured to seconds, but when people are chasing small advantages, it could become hundredths of a second. We're not world time trial racers, but that's times to thousands of a second iirc.
