Giro d’Italia 2023: UCI 'condemns' use of helicopters at end of Stage 7, 'goes against fair play'
The UCI has condemned teams who used helicopters to airlift their riders off the mountain after Stage 7’s summit finish at the Giro d’Italia on Friday, saying it «goes against the principles of fair play». With the bus convoy parked 26km down the snowy Gran Sasso, some teams flew their riders direct from the mountaintop to their hotels to cut transfer time ahead of a bumper weekend.
Notre Dame 99-to-0: No. 95 Tyson Ford, sophomore defensive tackle, up 30 pounds from a year ago
Listed measurements: 6-foot-3 ⅞, 292 pounds 2023-24 year, eligibility: A sophomore, Ford has all four seasons of eligibility remaining since he did not take the field in 2022. Depth Chart: Ford impressed enough in spring practices to lessen Notre Dame’s concerns at defensive tackle. He and junior Jason Onye will combine to be the fourth defensive tackle behind fifth-year Howard Cross, senior Rylie Mills and junior Gabe Rubio. Strictly speaking, Ford and Onye should relieve Cross while Rubio supplements Mills. Recruiting: If Ford becomes an on-field success story by the end of his time in South Bend, his recruiting origins will be better remembered. For the sake of the story alone, that may be an Irish preference. Ford was considered the No. 6 defensive end in the class, per rivals.com, when the December of 2021 signing period passed. He had moved up to No. 51 in the overall rankings of the class and was on the verge of committing to Oklahoma.

Giro d'Italia 2023 Stage 8: Preview, how to watch, TV and live stream details, route map and profile, when race starts
Unless you’re a close friend of Davide Bias (EOLO-Kometa), or the man himself, you’ve probably already forgotten about the snoozefest on Stage 7 at the Giro d’Italia. The GC big-hitters rode to the first summit finish together as strong headwinds discouraged attacks, although Remco Evenepoel (Soudal-QuickStep) dropped a last-gasp dig to suggest he is unhurt from his double crash on Stage 5. Ad Will Stage 8 be more exciting? With a 30.7km individual time trial to come on Sunday, the likes of Evenepoel, Primoz Roglic (Jumbo-Visma) and Geraint Thomas (Ineos Grenadiers) are likely to keep their powder dry, but we should get plenty of action from the stage hunters in the finale.
