Six countries to attend Track Cycling Cup in Cuba
Havana: Athletes from six countries were confirmed to participate at the Track Cycling Cup Cuba 2015, said Hector Ruiz, president of the Cuban cycling federation.
The event will be staged on May 27-30 in the velodrome Reinaldo Paseiro, in Havana, featuring competitors from Puerto Rico, Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, Mexico, Colombia, Venezuela, and the host, a news agency reported.
The hosts will be represented by cyclists already classified for the Pan American Games in Toronto, namely Marlies Mejias, Yumari Gonzalez, Arlenis Sierra, Yoanka Gonzalez, Yeima Torres and the rookie Anel Enjamio.
Ruiz complained of the absence of Cuba’s best cyclist Lisandra Guerra, who is training and competing in Germany until June 26.
Cuba will participate in all the events of the cup, said the official.
The Track Cycling Cup is part of the calendar of the International Cyclist Union (UCI) and grants points for the world season and championships.

Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
