If you've been following the saga of embattled '06 Tour De France winner Floyd Landis, then you know he committed to race the Leadville 100. Originally, Lance was gonna do it, and then right after that Floyd came on board. Lance bailed on it, but Floyd kept to his word.
Well, yesterday was the big day. I'm thrilled that Floyd went out there and took care of some business. Despite a crash and a flat, he finished in 7:00:30, only 2 minutes behind first place. The crash happened early in the race, and as I understand it, the flat came near the end. That flat may very well have made the difference between 1st and 2nd. There's no denying it, the man has some skills.
I would love to see Floyd do more mtb events when/if he's cleared, but considering the lack of money in mtbing I can't blame him for going back to the road side.
