Arlenis Sierra with Movistar

Havana, October 1 (RHC) - Cuban cycling star Arlenis Sierra continues to excel in the elite of the sport. This Saturday she finished fourth in the Giro dell'Emilia, in Italy.

29 years old and included in professional cycling several seasons ago, Arlenis has had an outstanding 2022 in one of the best clubs in the world, the Spanish Movistar Team, as teammate of Olympic and world champion Annemiek Van Vleuten.

In addition to achieving several podiums in World Tour races, including the overall triumph in the Vuelta a Andalucía, Ruta del Sol, the illustrious daughter of Manzanillo - in the eastern region of Cuba - achieved just a few days ago a remarkable sixth place in the World Championships held in Wollongong, Australia, the best by a female road racer in America. In 2021 she had been fifth in the World Championship in Flanders, Belgium.

This Saturday she stayed in the fight all the time in a stage of 89 km in which flat terrain predominated, although at the end there was a hilly section of 2,200 meters, with finish at the Basilica of San Luca, in Bologna, according to tuttobici.it.

The winner was the excellent Italian world medalist climber Elisa Longo Borghini, queen at the Giro della Emilia in 2015 and 2016 (Trek Segafredo).

After her debut in the Italian event with a prestigious second place in 2018, the Cuban finished tenth in 2019, 47th in 2020, and repeated second place in 2021.
