Ivan Stevic is expected to make his return to racing Sunday at the 24th Annual Chris Thater Memorial in Binghamton, N.Y.
Knee pain has kept Stevic from competing since he won the B World Road Race Championship in Cape Town, South Africa, on July 1.
The victory earned him an automatic berth to ride for Serbia in the 2008 Olympic road race in Beijing and the right to wear the blue-and-rainbow-striped jersey that denotes the B World Road Race champion.
This will be Toyota-United’s first appearance in the criterium that is named for a cyclist who was killed by a drunk driver.
“It’s got a bit of a hill in it and the course has a couple tight turns,” Toyota-United Team Director Harm Jansen said. “It’s a tough criterium.”
The 50-mile race will be televised live on the Internet on the World Championship Sports Network (WCSN.com). Local radio stations WAAL (99.1 FM) and WNBF (1290 AM) will also provide live coverage.
Toyota-United’s probable roster for the race is Chris Baldwin, Heath Blackgrove, Ivan Dominguez, Justin England, Bobby Lea, Stevic, Sean Sullivan and Chris Wherry.
