It was the same in France during the Giro (I only took Max+Eurosport for one month then). On a few days, there were less than 10 minutes between two series of ads... There were also technical issues for several days, where a stream or two, depending on the day, was jerky (for every viewer, not a problem on my side).
It's first time I see the ads since the forced change from Eurosport player. I fear it'll become like YouTube with huge ad blocks. To make it worse, there is no streaming alternative. Also the paragraph I posted is buried in huge TOS, not mentioned anywhere else AFAIK. There is actual mention of the ads on sport add-on webpage, but it says that the ads are there in case they are part of livestream, which is not the case here.
