It is a knee-jerk, poorly thought out response from Lappartient which reacts purely to a Tour de France where the viewing figures were down in a few countries, as well as media hysteria from all quarters.
None of the technology is going to go away, none, professional cycling is basically an advert for all the latest bikes and innovations, hence why disc brakes got pushed through despite the riders and mechanics not really wanting them.
And rather than budget caps the UCI should be looking at ways to get the smaller teams more money rather than try to restrict the spending of the top teams.
