Even though he was not present at the matches, Draymond Green was in the audience supporting the Golden State Warriors and his teammates. And according to Steve Kerr, the team’s coach, this fact has helped to strengthen the athletes’ functioning, motivating them in a different way.

“Draymond is a great help on the bench, he talks to the guys during breaks, during the game. He has a great sense of the game and personnel. He was talking to Jonathan Kuminga about how to protect certain guys, what direction to send them. So Draymond is a big help and I’m looking forward to getting him back.”

The decision applied by the NBA on the player was due to numerous aggressive actions, but mainly due to the action taken against Jusuf Nurkic in the match against the Phoenix Suns, in December. However, this is not the first punishment the athlete has received, at the beginning of the season, Draymond Green applied a rear naked choke to Rudy Gobert while playing against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Changes to the UCI regulations began to be announced from December, which would be applied at the start of the next season in 2024. As part of the measure, workers and inspectors from the institution were at the event seeking to identify all the bicycles that were on site, measuring angles, checking slopes, among others.

Previously, the UCI also informed that it will be implementing penalties and fines for competitors who use clothing and accessories that are not provided for in the regulations. The information released states that fines can be applied to those wearing non-compliant clothing, that is, socks that are too high, team kits that have not been registered, aero-modified fabrics, among others. Penalties can be around CHF 2,000, equivalent to US$2,250.00.

In addition to this measure, which will be applied at the beginning of 2024, the UCI also announced that it has increased the institution’s ranking number, meaning it will be a little more difficult for teams to maintain themselves and avoid relegation in the final rankings of the men’s WorldTour competitions in 2025 and ProTeam.
