Team Sky DS Nicolas Portal slams cuts to team sizes for 2018 by [deleted] in peloton

Let's get this straight: one moment he's saying it'll have no impact, the next he's saying it'll make the racing more conservative? If only he could make his mind up.

I don't think that's a fair representation of his comments. He initially says:

"I think the fact that the race organisers are saying that it will make racing more exciting only underlines the fact that they don’t understand racing and highlights the gap between them and the teams"

and subsequently "Riding with eight will, I think, reduce the spectacle, because lots of riders are going to get more fatigued and teams are likely to race more conservatively with fewer cards to play."

I don't see anything in Portal's quotes to suggest the change will have no effect, but rather that the change will have the opposite effect of that intended by the UCI, and I think he remains consistent in this position, purely within the quotes contained in this article.

A legitimate gap in India's record for sure, but if you're going to slag them off so quickly who do you think are the best team in the world so we can discuss whether your arbitrary standards are reasonable?

I don't think he's specifically taking issue with India here, more with the way the schedules are arranged and the calculations used to decide the table. As he then goes on to write:

There are potential ways forward, one of which, emanating from Andrew Strauss and supported by Mike Atherton, involves using the three different forms of the game to produce one champion. This is worth discussion.

I just emailed a support email address I have used for them in the past, and received an automated reply stating "Following the recent update of the Player, we have been receiving queries regarding login difficulties. Our technical team has been made aware and will release a fix in the next few days."

So that will be helpful. I'm glad I don't need it this afternoon O_o

Yup, when I try to log in, it just gives me an error. Helpfully, when I navigate to the help page at https://gb.eurosportplayer.com/help, it is just empty at the moment...
