Five teams and 30 riders excluded from women's Tour de Romandie in a dispute over GPS trackers

VILLARS-SUR-OLLON, Switzerland (AP) — Five teams and 30 of the world's top cyclists have been removed from the women's Tour de Romandie in a dispute over GPS trackers on riders, the sport's governing body said as the race began Friday. The excluded riders made up nearly a third of the field for the three-day race in Switzerland and included 2024 Tour de France winner Katarzyna Niewiadoma. The International Cycling Union said the teams had been asked to each pick one rider to wear a GPS tracker ahead of a wider rollout of the device to all riders at the world championships in Rwanda next month. They refused to nominate riders and were excluded from the race, the UCI said. All 30 riders were listed as non-starters on the race website. 'It is deplorable to witness the refusal of certain teams to move forward together to protect the safety of riders, and the UCI condemns their non-cooperation,' the UCI said. It also claimed that some of the teams were part of an organization developing a rival tracking system. The exclusions may not be the end of the matter. The UCI said it 'shall consider if other measures are warranted' under its regulations. In a joint statement, the five teams said they supported measures to make cycling safer but disagreed with how the UCI went about it. Forcing teams to pick one rider to wear the UCI-mandated device meant they had to 'discriminate one rider against other riders,' they said. 'This action disregards the rights of teams and riders, applies the measure in a discriminatory manner, and contradicts the UCI's own stated commitment to dialogue with stakeholders,' the teams said. 'We are always at the forefront to make cycling a safer sport, but it should be achieved through collaboration, not coercion.' The UCI says it wants to introduce the trackers to ensure a quick response to crashes. At last year's world championships in Switzerland, 18-year-old cyclist Muriel Furrer died after sustaining a head injury in a crash. She was competing in the junior women's event on rain-slicked roads when she crashed in a forest area south of Zurich. She reportedly lay alone for almost an hour and a half before she was discovered at the side of the road and airlifted by helicopter to the hospital. ___ AP sports:

Arsenal players back Martin Odegaard as captain, Arteta says

LONDON (AP) — Mikel Arteta says he and his players have no doubts about Martin Odegaard's qualities as Arsenal captain. The Norway international has been captain for three years — all second-place finishes in the Premier League — and that won't change as the Gunners prepare for their season opener at Manchester United on Sunday. Club great Tony Adams had called for Arteta to give the armband to Declan Rice in a bid to elevate the team to its first top-flight title since 2004. Arteta, himself a former Arsenal captain, said that's not happening. 'It's not just my opinion,' he said Friday, 'it's all the staff and especially the players. I asked them to vote (on) the captain and I got the results yesterday and by a mile — by 100 miles — everybody chooses the same person, which is Martin Odegaard, which is the most clear sign that you can have. 'It's how they feel about who has to be their captain, to defend, improve and win the matches that we want to win,' Arteta added. 'There's no question about that.' Odegaard is also Norway's captain.

'You keep digging, digging, digging,' he said. 'You have to be digging because one day the gold is going to be there. For three seasons we have more points than any other team in this league, which is incredible. Now we have to do it in a season to earn one more point (than other teams)… that's our objective.' ___ AP soccer:
