Arlenis Sierra takes fifth in last stage and wins Giro a la Toscana 2021

Havana, August 29 (RHC)-- Cuban Arlenis Sierra (A.R.Monex) was crowned for the second consecutive time in the Michela Fanino Memorial-Giro of Tuscany, finishing fifth in the second and final stage, which ended Sunday in Montecatini.

Supported by an excellent teamwork, in the last fraction (127.8 km) Arlenis dedicated herself to ride in the peloton, while her Monex teammates - led by Katia Ragusa - controlled all the attacks of the Lithuanian Rasa Leleivyte and the Italians.

 "Triumph of the strong and brilliant 28-year-old Cuban Arlenis Canadilla Sierra in the 25th Giro della Toscana. For the athlete it is the second in a row because even two years ago in Pescia it was she who won the pink jersey", recalled the specialized site tuttobiciweb.it.   Her Monex teammate, Italian Ragusa, finished fourth in the stage, won by another local, Giorgia Bariani (Top Girls Fassa Bortolo), escorted by Lithuanian Leleivyte (Aronitalia Basso Buke), second overall.
