RAISIN CLOSE TO RETURN: American rider Saul Raisin could resume competitive cycling later this year.
Raisin, the Credit Agricole rider who fell into a coma 15 months ago after crashing in a French stage race, has passed medical checks.
"He did the French medical checks," said Roger Legeay, Raisin's Credit Agricole sporting director. "I went to see the specialists in Bordeaux and they gave the all clear."
The American rider has already competed in amateur races and now hopes to take the next step.
"He is going to do the U.S. championships in the time trial," Legeay said. "Then he will come back to France for the team photo, and he should start next season."
