It's an interesting question, still, whether Nathan ought to honour the rules that were in place at the start of the race--obviously, Marcel may not want that, and, as you say, agree that he should be in a different category. I'm assuming that the rules, which I haven't read, actually did say that it's completely open in that respect. Perhaps Nathan just didn't realise how much faster velomobiles can be, with the right rider. You could have riders that are much faster than Marcel, too. I reckon that skinny bloke would go like the clappers in one. :)

No it's not weird. Marcel didn't win the trans am BIKE race, he won the trans am velomobile race.
Good on nathan for realising his mistake and hopefully putting velomobiles in their own category.
Possibly he relegated himself. He's clearly a good guy and realised it wasn't right, to be in the bicycle category.
