HAVANA, Cuba, Dec 3 (acn) Lisandra Guerra will be the only Cuban representative attending, from December 5 to 7, to the second stop of the 2015-2016 Track Cycling World Cup, based in the New Zealand city of Cambridge.
According to Jit digital publication, Guerra, who had a discreet performance in the first stage of the circuit in Cali, Colombia, will not be accompanied this time by Marlies Mejías or Arlenis Sierra, unexpected monarch of the scratch event in the South American city.
On that occasion, she finished 24th and 29 th in the keirin and speed events, respectively, while Mejias finished eighth in the omnium, with 124 points.
Indeed, Marlies will be one of the main figures who will be absent on this contest, due to an injury she suffered in one of the workouts, so she will lose a great opportunity to score points for the Olympic rankings, Jit website added.
Besides the three stages of the World Cup, Guerra and Mejias will also have options to accumulate units in the World Championship to be held next March in London for achieving the qualification for the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro (Brazil).
Lisandra will debut on Saturday in speed, while on Sunday she will in keirin, events in which she appears ninth (490 points) and eighth (503), respectively, in the Olympic ranking.
