The World Championship Sports Network will carry the 24th Annual Chris Thater Memorial Criterium – featuring the Toyota-United Pro Cycling Team – live in an on-line broadcast Sunday on WCSN.com.The cost of the broadcast is $4.95, which will allow access to a month’s worth of WCSN broadcasts. Coverage begins at noon EDT from Binghamton, N.Y. Former professional cyclist Todd Gogulski will call the action with veteran WCSN announcer Steve Schlanger. Seven-time Emmy award winner Kent Gordis will produce the coverage, which will feature eight cameras around the 1.2-mile (2 km) course.
Sunday’s race marks the return to racing for Toyota-United’s Ivan Stevic. Knee pain has kept him out of competition 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.
“I’m happy to finally get back out there and do a race,” Stevic said. “My form is not that great. Still, I want to be there to help the guys.”
This will be Toyota-United’s first appearance in the Chris Thater Memorial, a 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.”
Toyota-United’s roster for the race is Chris Baldwin, Heath Blackgrove, Ivan Dominguez, Justin England, Bobby Lea, Stevic, Sean Sullivan and Chris Wherry. Baldwin, Dominguez, Stevic, England and Wherry are all in the top 12 of the National Race Calendar individual standings while Toyota-United is second in the NRC team standings.
