The Spanish Tania Bald He finished his performance in seventh position in the final of the elimination test of World Cups of track cycling debated in the French town of Saint Quentin-en-Yvelinesin which the Belgian won Lotte Kopecky.

Elimination consists of the elimination of the last competitor of each sprint played every two laps of the track. This event is not part of the Olympic program and will be held only for the second time in a Women’s World Cup.

Calvo, 30, used his experience to avoid elimination until the peloton was down to seven units, at which point the Vitorian, unable to keep up with the strong pace of the race, decided to drop out of the group.

The one who has no problem enduring the continuous accelerations is the Belgian Lotte Kopecky, who, after finishing last year on the brink of gold at the World Championships held in Roubaix, did not disappoint this time and crowned the new world champions.

Kopecky, currently runner-up in the world long-distance road race, gave the Italian little option in the final sprint Rachel Barbieriwho had to settle for silver.

The American completed the podium Jennifer Valentewho, as happened in 2021 in Roubaix, won the bronze medal.
