Rapids move D Chidozie Awaziem to France's FC Nantes
Awaziem, 28, had one assist over 20 games, all starts, this season for Colorado. The native of Enugu, Nigeria, had two assists in seven matches, all starts, for FC Cincinnati last season.
"We're grateful to Chido for his time with the club this season," Rapids president Padraig Smith said in a statement. "We wish him nothing but success in this next chapter."
Awaziem's assist this season came in a 3-2 victory against visiting San Diego FC on April 12.

Revealed: The key figure behind Will Skelton's emotional Wallabies return against the British and Irish Lions
Wallabies star Will Skelton has revealed the huge sacrifice his wife Kate has made as he chases his sporting dreams. Skelton, 33, is the man the British and Irish Lions fear ahead of the second Test at the MCG on Saturday night, but the man mountain knows he wouldn't be where he is without the support of his better half. '(I can't thank her enough)...they (wives) stop their (own) careers and they jump on your back,' he told Code Sports. 'It's such a special honour to play for Australia, but you've got to recognise that our girls are the ones who are putting us them the whole place would burn down.' Kate Skelton was working in aged care - but gave up her own career to support her husband's rugby endeavours abroad. The couple - who are based in France where Skelton plays for Top 14 side La Rochelle - have two boys, four-year-old Julius and seven-month-old Jude. Such is Skelton's x-factor, he has been parachuted into the Wallabies starting line-up against the Lions. A veteran of 32 Tests, Skelton will look to provide some much-needed aggression. He is imposing, standing at 203cm and weighing 135kg. Skelton also wears custom-made size 19 boots. The former Wallabies captain has returned following a calf injury - and Lions great Ronan O'Gara, who is Skelton's club coach at La Rochelle, knows he can change the game. 'He is an absolute freak and I'm very one-eyed obviously because I see everything good about him,' he told The Aftermatch podcast. 'He does change a team, he does change an environment, he is so good, but he's coming back from a period of time out (injured). 'Usually it takes a game or two to find your feet, but Will has the ability to hit the ground running. They (Wallabies) need him.' Big things were expected of Skelton after he helped the NSW Waratahs their first Super Rugby title in 2014. Next was a move to Europe three years later - and since then, he has won trophies for fun at Saracens and more recently, La Rochelle. He is also a four time European champion. A crowd of almost 100,000 is anticipated at the MCG, with kick-off 8pm AEDT. Wallabies (15-1): Tom Wright, Max Jorgensen, Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii, Len Ikitau, Harry Potter, Tom Lynagh, Jake Gordon, Harry Wilson (c), Fraser McReight, Rob Valetini, Nick Frost, Allan Alaalatoa, David Porecki, James Slipper Reserves: Billy Pollard, Angus Bell, Tom Robertson, Jeremy Wiliams, Langi Gleeson, Carlo Tizzano, Tate McDermott, Ben Donaldson Lions (15-1): Hugo Keenan, Tommy Freeman, Huw Jones, Bundee Aki, James Lowe, Finn Russell, Jamison Gibson-Park, Jack Conan, Tom Curry, Tadhg Beirne, Ollie Chessum, Maro Itoje (c), Tadhg Furlong, Dan Sheehan, Andrew Porter

Tour de France Stage 20: Final chance for breakaway specialists on hilly route as race nears Paris
The battle for the general classification at the Tour de France is all but over, after Tadej Pogacar and Jonas Vingegaard remained locked together - as they have throughout this final week - on stage 19. Vingegaard, wearing Pogacar's king of the mountains jersey for him, at least got one over his rival by winning a small sprint for second place atop La Plagne, the final hors-categorie climb of this year's race and the last of five gruelling summit finishes at this year's Tour. But the Dane evidently did not have the legs to attack and distance his rival on the 19km climb, with the pair matching each other's moves but failing to reel in Thymen Arensman. The Dutchman - who had already sealed one victory on a HC climb, at Superbagneres on stage 14 - only had a handful of seconds over the GC duo going into the final kilometre but held them off with a herculean effort, finishing two seconds in front of both Vingegaard and Pogacar. Arensman covered his face in disbelief as his debut Tour went from brilliant to even better, rescuing a difficult race for the Ineos Grenadiers, who otherwise failed to make an impact on the Tour and have had to fend off unwanted attention over historic allegations of wrongdoing against a member of staff. 'I'm absolutely destroyed. I can't believe it,' the 24-year-old said at the finish. 'Already to win one stage in the tour - unbelievable. From the GC group against the strongest riders in the world... feels like I'm dreaming. 'I don't take no for an answer. It's Tadej [Pogacar] and Jonas [Vingegaard] - everyone knows they are the strongest in the world, almost aliens. As a human, I still want to beat them. I tried to not look behind and go as fast as I could and it was enough. It's just crazy.' Now the Pyrenees and the Alps are over, and there are just two more stages to get through before the podium ceremony and champagne-popping in Paris. Stage 20 screams 'breakaway': a hilly, punchy route through the Jura mountain range, beginning in Nantua, in the foothills of the Alps, and taking in four classified climbs on the 184km road to Pontarlier. In total there's 2,850m of climbing but none difficult enough to trouble the general classification contenders, who will likely sit tight in the peloton and be wrapped in cotton wool by their teammates as they're shepherded towards Paris. That means there will be 14 winless teams from this year's race fighting to get in the day's breakaway, setting up a no doubt chaotic first few kilometres of racing as a group establishes itself. An unclassified rise out of Nantua leads swiftly onto the day's first climb, the category-three Col de la Croix de la Serra, the longest of the day at 12.1km but a relatively forgiving 4.1%. That leads into the category-four Cote de Valfin (5.7km at 4.2%), with the intermediate sprint at Chaux du Dombief coming 72km into proceedings - an important landmark for Jonathan Milan, who will look to shore up his lead in the points classification. The lumps and bumps continues, through the day's punchiest, sharpest climb, the Cote de Thesy (3.6km at an average of 8.9%), with the final marked climb coming 20km from the finish at the Cote de Longeville (2.5km at 5.5%). The road flattens out in the final seven kilometres or so, meaning that if enough sprinters have survived, we could be in for a reduced sprint of sorts. With an unknown quantity on the horizon in Paris - the addition of several climbs of Montmartre potentially enough to bid adieu to the sprinters - their teams may have a fast finish in mind in Pontarlier, setting up what could be a frenzied final hour of racing. Route map and profile Start time The penultimate stage of the Tour de France starts at 12.05pm local time (11.05am BST) with an earlier expected finish time of around 4.10pm local time (3.10pm BST). Prediction This stage is one for both the puncheurs and rouleurs of the peloton, with the flatter finish favouring a powerhouse rider who can get over the climbs. Jonas Abrahamsen loves a breakaway and already has one victory to his name, on a similarly lumpy day out in Toulouse on stage 11. From a British perspective, Fred Wright has been a constant in breakaways but hasn't been able to hold on at the pointy end - but may fancy one last try tomorrow. Kasper Asgreen is another breakaway artiste who excels on this sort of terrain, but with a second place alreaady to his name on stage 15, my bet is Victor Campenaerts. He's been Visma-Lease a Bike's strongest domestique in the entire race, consistently outperforming out-and-out climbers in the Pyrenees and Alps, and my feeling is Visma will thank him by letting him go for a shot at glory of his own on the road to Pontarlier.

England star Esme Morgan 'had it all' from a young age
The first football coach of Lionesses star Esme Morgan has said the defender "had it all" from a young was part of the England side who came from behind to beat Italy 2-1 on Tuesday to book a place in Sunday's Euro 2025 final against 24-year-old plays her club football for US side Washington Spirit, but began her footballing journey under the tutelage of Martin Windle in her home city of Windle described his former protégé as a "really, really nice human being" and remembered her footballing ability as "absolutely brilliant". Morgan joined Ecclesall Rangers, where Mr Windle is still chairman, aged seven and represented the club's boys teams in the Sheffield & District Sunday League until she left to sign for Manchester City aged 15."She had it all - she was brilliant," recalled Mr Windle, who paid tribute to his son Jon, another coach at Ecclesall Rangers, for his role in Morgan's early development."I couldn't have said to you 'She's going to be a professional footballer', because the likes of that didn't exist 20 years ago."My job was introducing her to football and she's carried on from there." Morgan has made two appearances for Sarina Wiegman's side during the tournament in Switzerland, one as a substitute against Sweden before starting against Italy. She was also part of the Lionesses squad which reached the Women's World Cup final in 2023, when they lost out to former High Storrs pupil, who attended the same school as Kyle Walker, impressed in Tuesday's semi-final, meaning she could be in line to feature again in the final. Morgan's former school said they "couldn't be prouder" after more late drama sent England into their second successive European final and third in as many major tournaments."Her contribution was immense and I think they should stick with her," said Mr Windle, who has been involved in grassroots football for 36 years and counting."Forwards and strikers win you games, defenders win you the cups and tournaments."
