Havana, January 6 (RHC/ACN)-- In the presentation of the women's team of the emblematic and powerful multinational Movistar Team, the Spanish-based club highlights that the squad is completed this year by the versatile and expert Cuban cyclist Arlenis Sierra.

The dean of world cycling points out in its official website the 41 victories of the Cuban rider in five years in the elite in the most diverse competitive scenarios.

In addition, it qualifies as exceptional the fifth place of the Manzanillo rider last October at the World Championship in Belgium, where she achieved the feat despite having to fight alone, once again, against the best teams in the world.

Movistar, one of the top three women's squads, also reports that Sierra has beaten some of the top names in the club, including the usual leader of the demanding world rankings, Dutch Olympic and world champion Annemiek van Vleuten.

Sierra, born December 7, 1992, leader of the Italian-based A.R Monex Women's Team (formerly Astana Women's Team), climbed to eight podiums in 2021 despite a reduced schedule in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic.

As usual, she triumphed in a variety of races, winning the Giro della Toscana and the Tre Valli Varesine (Italy) in the last six weeks of the season alone (ending in early October), third in the Tour of Ardeche (France), runner-up in the Giro dell' Emilia (Italy) and fifth in the World Championships (Belgium).

The first competition for the women of "la escuadra telefónica" in 2022 is scheduled for February 6 in Spain.
