The following theorem is proved: Let \(G\) be a cyclically 5-connected cubic graph, and let \(C\) be a cycle of \(G\) with length 5. If there is a subdivision of the Petersen graph in \(G\), then there is one containing \(C\). This result provides a significant simplification in checking whether a given graph does or does not contain a subdivision of the Petersen graph.
