The Cuban cyclist Arlenis Sierra, without a doubt the best Latin American road rider of the last decade, said goodbye Thursday to the Giro d’Italia Donne, one of the three most important races on the world circuit, after suffering a fall.
the spanish club Movistar Team announced that Sierra did not start the seventh stage of the Giro Donne due to a crash on Wednesday’s day on the way to Bergamo.
Yesterday the star cyclist crossed the finish line in 25th place, 38 seconds behind the Dutch Marianne Vos, multiple Olympic and world champion on road, track and cyclocross.
Sierra achieved a sixth place on Monday and remained stable around the 24th seat, in addition to his essential performance to protect the general leadership of the Giro in the hands of the leader of Movistar and the ranking of the UCI, the Dutch Olympic and world champion Annemiek van Vleuten.
The next contest for the women of the blue cast will be from July 24 to 31 at the Tour de France, in which Sierra’s reincorporation is anticipated.
