That should be interesting, they are supposed to be 23kgs lighter than a supersport. Link: http://www.iomtt.com/News/2010/02/24/Moto2-GP-machine-to-make-British-debut-at-2010-TT.aspx

Do the rules state that this bike cannot be raced in the Supersport class at the TT

The supersport race is for supersport bikes not full on race bikes!
The answer is it cannot be raced in supersport.

Re:TT 2010 News 6 Months, 2 Weeks ago  
Looking at the rules it seems at first glance they don`t/won`t allow a bike of this nature to compete...maybe a loop hole exists but it doesn`t seem likely....I`d like to see a Moto-2 bike on the track in the hands of such a good rider but a re-think/relax of the rules would need to be introduced and sanctioned....lets hope the powers look favorably on an inclusion rather than an exclusion.It would give a new dimension to the TT and maybe pave the way to giving the event a real bolt hole for the development of a new depth of field...the TTX is already a unique addition that will hopefully carry the event into the next decade and beyond...its better to lead than follow.......

I think it will fall on near every line of the rules, a lot of bending would be neededto race in the Supersport.
How will it fair against the Superbikes in the senior?
Are the Moto2 bikes freely available at a reasonable cost?

Olie will ride the FTR Moto 2 in the Senior class only, where it can be ridden at the discretion of the organisers.

It will sadly not be eligible for the Supersport 600 class in 2010.

He will be riding Team Flitwick Yamahas in the Supersport, Superstock, and Superbike classes, with major support from Sponsors SMV Engineering, Wheeler electrical, and Steve Bond.

Roll on the start of the Road race Season.
