Brexit blamed as London-Paris organisers say next year’s edition will be the last

Probably not but might stop you posting nonsensical stuff on the interwebs.

Definitely worth a try.

Closing people down isn't making the Brexit case really, is it?

That was funny though...

Not sure if you are replying to my first reply or second. But my second reply states several reasons why the paperwork needed for 300 bikes can build up and cause issues where paperwork for 50 might not be as bad. (As well as other business reasons).

Easy enough to see the difference in group sizes in the videos at the bottom of this page.

The gravel bikes will, presumably, need the exact same paperwork as any road bikes.

Is the gravel ride limited to a lower number than the road ride?

Could the road ride not have been split into smaller groups for custom purposes?

Is the whole Brexit angle being rather over-egged?

The video shows numbers on the road compared to the admittedly inaugural gravel ride last year. There might be more on the gravel this year but as I have already posted, the gravel event happening anyway is currently a red herring.

As for splitting the rides. They used to split them on the road between racing and riding groups. However ferry travel and hotels were for all people. The point of this L2P used to be for the ability to cycle the TdF finish route on the Saturday and to be in Paris for the Sunday. 

Who knows, the new format they hinted at might be smaller groups or multiple runs a year without the TdF. 

As for your last question. Maybe someone more knowledgeble on the paperwork needed can confirm that having to provide an ATA Carnet to be completed for each bike including all bike details; manufacturer, model , frame number, weight, purchase price and country of origin is just overegging an angle. Of course then you have to hope that the person booked turns up on the same bike, they have the same equipment fitted, they turn up at all, they don't have a medical episode AND customs don't decide to do a spot check on the bikes against the Carnet. The new format might even be you have to travel there and back with your own bike as a solo traveller as you shouldn't need a carnet then either as for ease of use, they currently supply vehicles to transport the bikes across on the ferry and then return transport for the bikes whilst riders fly or Eurotunnel back. 

It is inconvenient when the Brexit facts contradict your Brexit ideology, isn't it? I almost feel sorry for you.

If someone is still defending Brexit, then they must be deriving some satisfaction from it. Since they cannot name anything that is better in Life for Brexit, that only leaves their taking some kind of twisted revenge on the world. 

It's inconvenient when, under a story in which the facts very much contradict the anti Brexit narrative, you try to make a point about facts.

Keep on trying, one day you'll put a coherent argument together.

where are my Brexit benefits

?

I've tried to engage and have a debate in good faith.

You refuse to acknowledge any of the posts I've made clearly outlining benefits from Brexit. I even made sure the benefits I highlighted were cycling specific so as to be most likely to benefit the reader of a cycling website in a further effort to engage in a good faith debate.

You clearly aren't interested in such a debate and just wish to troll.

I won't be engaging with any of your posts on Brexit in the future.

What facts have contradicted the AB Narrative that part of the reason they are changing the road format is because of extra paperwork now needed for Brexit?

I have also pointed out why a Carnet for 350 bikes is adding loads of paperwork compared to prior to brexit. (Plus the risk that an over-enthusiatic border person might want to account for all the bikes against the carnet which they have also raised as a potential issue). Hirsute has also pointed out a twitter thread from someone who had to list 350 items to account for the seperate supplies for a scouts trip. Where are your facts that either of these are wrong?

Instead you have picked on a throwaway line about a different event they run that has considerably less bikes to transport so less paperwork to fumble with. 

Edit: They also run events in Italy and South Africa which no changes have been announced about as of time of writing. Neither of those have any need for Carnets as the bikes are transported to them by the riders. My personal theory on the format change will be that the ride will start in (Nice/ Bordeaux/ Lyon) and the riders will need to travel with their own bikes to the starting route. 

It's the exact same paperwork for the gravel event.

If it were the paperwork that's led to the demise of the event then how can the gravel event continue?

If it's the size of the road event that's the issue then splitting the group into groups that are sized similarly to the gravel groups would surely solve the issue.

Blaming Brexit paperwork for the end of the event whilst a similar event that requires the exact same paperwork continues doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

The fact that the gravel event can continue contradicts the assertion that the paperwork makes the event impossible.
