Havana, October 25 (RHC)-- Cuban cycling star Arlenis Sierra received a warm farewell from A.R.Monex, her former club, which showered her with praise and thanked her for the great satisfactions she gave her in five years.

"In five seasons with our team Arlenis Sierra has given us so many wonderful satisfactions that it is not easy to summarize in words this long adventure," wrote Monex on its official Facebook profile, along with a series of images recalling the cyclist's main triumphs.

The Italian club A.R. Monex Women's Pro Cycling Team (formerly Astana), with the second women's category of the UCI Women's Continetal Team and led by Aldo Piccolo, achieved six wins on the professional circuit this year, in races in Italy, Spain and France, all won by its captain and star figure, Arlenis Sierra.

"Together we were able to talk about the 30 victories, all the other great prestigious placings and an extraordinary relationship on a human level," the club continued, and "now that she is about to change jerseys (she signed for Movistar), we just want to say one thing .... Thank you Arlenis!

Arlenis Sierra, 28, had a season of luxury that dazzled several of the best professional cycling clubs in 2021, in which she reached eight podiums - six first place - and achieved a historic fifth place for Cuba in the recent road world championships in Flanders, Belgium.

Thanks to her triumphs, she signed a two-year contract (2022-2023) with Movistar (Spain), one of the most prestigious clubs in cycling and where the phenomenal Annemiek Van Vleuten, Olympic and several times world champion, is a member.
