Arlenis Sierra far from the forefront in Italian giro by scoring for her club

Havana, September 30 (RHC) - Cuban Arlenis Sierra finished far from the leaders in the Giro dell'Emilia, in Italy, as she dedicated herself to scoring for her club, Spain's Movistar Team.

The most outstanding Movistar rider was German Lianne Lippert, in sixth place, followed by Colombian Paula Patiño (23rd).

The great protagonist of the day was the FDJ Suez, from Italy, with the 1-2 at the finish in San Lucca, with the Danish Cecilie Ludwig, winner with 2h.36.21, followed by her teammate Marta Cavalli, 5 seconds behind.

The race had category 1 of the International Cycling Union (UCI) and Ludwig, winner also in 2020, received 200 points for the ranking of the orb.

France's Juliette. Labous (DSM-Firmenich) completed the podium ahead of the Italian Gaia Realini (Lidl - Trek).

A heavy fall forced the Italian Elisa Balsamo to retire.

The star of Cuban cycling, Arlenis Sierra, finished in 40th place, 3.24 behind the winner, as her work was scoring for the team.

Sierra, 30 years old and for more than five years the best road racer of the American continent, rejoined Movistar in Spain last Wednesday, after several days in Havana, where she regained the titles (time trial and road) in the Cuban national championship.

The Cuban cyclist will have another race in Italy on October 3, Tres Valles, and then she will return to Cuba to travel to Chile to defend her title in the Pan American Games.

In the Giro dell¨Emilia 149 cyclists from 20 clubs took the start and more than 40 could not finish the demanding race.
