'It's destructive to the sport' - Israel-Premier Tech owner hits out at WorldTour relegation and UCI
Sylvan Adams, the Israel-Premier Tech owner, has hit out at the UCI and the WorldTour relegation system, describing it as «destructive» to cycling. 20 teams have applied for a place and are competing for 18 licences on the 2023 WorldTour, the top tier of men's professional cycling, with Adams' team currently set to miss out on a guaranteed place in the peloton at the world's top races. Ad The places will be determined based on UCI points earned in the last three seasons, with Arkea-Samsic and Alpecin-Deceuninck expected to step up from the ProTour.
