The downtown streets of Rochester, New York will host the next round of the USA Cycling Professional Tour: the 4th Annual Saturn Rochester Twilight Criterium, on Saturday, June 23. The one-mile loop through the downtown streets comprise a true American-style criterium course, with six turns each lap and a gradual rise through the start-finish line.

Teams from around North America will be chasing the UCI points (cat 1.2) on the line, and well as points toward the season-long USA Cycling Professional Tour.

The Navigators Insurance team will return with defending Rochester champion Hilton Clarke of Australia, but will face strong competition from the Kodak Gallery/Sierra Nevada team who will be racing within blocks of their title sponsor's headquarters, and the strong criterium teams of Colavita/Sutter Home and Toyota/United Pro.
