David Lappartient to serve third term as UCI president unopposed
Lappartient, who is also the former head of the French Olympic Committee, lost to Kirsty Coventry in the race for president of the International Olympic Committee earlier this year.
He has been president of the UCI since 2017.
'Only David Lappartient, current UCI President, submitted a candidacy for the position,' the UCI said. 'His election for a third four-year term will be confirmed without a vote.'
The election of the president for the 2025-29 period will take place during the next UCI Congress, which will be held on Sept. 25 in Kigali, Rwanda.

Evoaldi's impressive streak for Rangers ends by giving up 3 homers and 5 runs
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Nathan Eovaldi's impressive streak for the Texas Rangers ended with a dud. After going 6-0 with a 0.47 ERA in six starts since the start of July, Eovaldi was tagged for three home runs while allowing season highs of five runs and eight hits in five innings against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Monday night. The 35-year-old right-hander struck out three and walked one before exiting with Texas down 5-1. Eovaldi had given up only six runs total over his previous seven starts, and half of those runs came in the same game. There had only been two long balls against him his past 14 games. When he pitched one-hit ball over eight innings in a 2-0 win over the New York Yankees last Tuesday, it was the 13th time in a 14-game span allowing one or zero runs. Hall of Fame pitcher Bob Gibson is the only pitcher since 1900 to record that kind of streak, according to STATS, and he did it in 1968, the season he won both the NL Cy Young and MVP awards. Even though Evoladi's overall ERA rose from 1.38 to 1.71, that is still better than the 1.94 of qualified MLB leader Paul Skenes. The AL leader is reigning Cy Young Award winner Tarik Skubal at 2.35. Eovaldi, who missed most of June with elbow inflammation, has thrown 116 innings in the Rangers' 120 games. Pitchers need one inning per team game to qualify as a league leader. Arizona's first five batters were retired before rookie first baseman Tyler Locklear homered on a 402-foot shot to left field in the second inning. Jake McCarthy opened the third with a double and Corbin Carrol followed with his 26th homer, a shot that ricocheted off the right-field pole. Ketel Marte was then hit by a pitch on his left elbow before Geraldo Perdomomo's 12th homer made it 5-0. Thursdays Keep up to date on sports with Mike McIntyre's weekly newsletter. Eovaldi benefitted from double plays in both the fourth and fifth to avoid giving up any more runs after Arizona also had hits in both those innings. The Diamondbacks were coming off a 17-hit game in their 13-6 win at home over Colorado on Sunday, when they set a franchise record with nine consecutive hits in the fifth inning — all with two outs. Only four MLB pitchers since 1920 had a lower ERA than the 1.38 for Eovaldi in the first 19 starts of a season, with Gibson's 1.06 for St. Louis in 1968 the lowest. This is Eovaldi's third season with the Rangers, who gave him the $100,000 All-Star bonus that is in his contract even though he was left off the American League All-Star team last month. ___ AP MLB:

Warren pitches 6 2/3 innings to lead the Yankees to 6-2 win over the Twins
NEW YORK (AP) — Will Warren gave up three hits and two runs in 6 2/3 innings to become the first New York Yankees starting pitcher to get an out in the seventh inning in a month in a 6-2 win over the Minnesota Twins on Monday night. Warren (7-5), who allowed homers to Byron Buxton and Trevor Larnach, struck out seven and walked none before Luke Weaver and David Bednar finished off New York's 23rd win in its last 30 regular-season meetings with Minnesota. It was the first time the Yankees won a series opener since the All-Star break. The last Yankees pitcher to get an out in the seventh was Carlos Rodón, who pitched eight innings July 11 against the Chicago Cubs. Cody Bellinger, Giancarlo Stanton and Ben Rice homered against Minnesota starter Zebby Matthews (3-4). Jazz Chisholm Jr. homered in the eighth after Trent Grisham and Aaron Judge hit RBI singles in the seventh. Warren took a shutout into the fifth until Buxton homered. He was one strike away from finishing the seventh until Larnach homered. Bellinger ended a 12-game homerless drought in the first. Stanton and Rice homered in the third, marking the eighth time the Yankees hit back-to-back homers this year. Matthews allowed three runs and six hits in 5 2/3 innings. The right-hander struck out nine and tied a career high by allowing three homers. Key moment Matthews got the first two outs of the third before Stanton hit his fastball into the Yankee bullpen in right-center and Rice hit a slider to right field. Key stats Thursdays Keep up to date on sports with Mike McIntyre's weekly newsletter. The Yankees are 10-3 when homering at least four times this year. Stanton hit his 10th homer in his last 25 games and his first when playing the field since Aug. 3, 2023 against Houston. Up next Rodón (11-7, 3.35 ERA) starts for the Yankees on Tuesday night. The Twins are expected to use a bullpen game. ___ AP MLB:
