Have the UCI actually justified the decision to ban trade teams from the track at all?
In the absence of any justification it's hard not to agree with Huub Wattbike's conclusion that it's French protectionism.

I'm not certain I'd call a comment on Twitter at a frustrating time a "conclusion".
It wasn't just one comment on Twitter. They've said it elsewhere and it is heavily implied if you read between the lines in the letter.
Either way until the UCI say why they've done it people are going to presume bad intent.
