Landis OK after training crash

By Shane Stokes in Granada

Having led the race for quite a while last year and placing a strong 9th in this year's Tour de France, Floyd Landis goes into this year's Vuelta as one of the big contenders. The Phonak rider had a scare on Thursday when he hit the deck out training, losing control on a dusty corner. He was sporting a bandage on his left arm and grazes on his right yesterday evening in the team hotel in Granada, but said that he was otherwise fine.
