Landis to stay with Phonak

By Susan Westemeyer

Floyd Landis will remain with Phonak next year, team manager John Lalangue announced on Monday. "Floyd told me that he wants to stay with us, although he had several offers from other teams. That is naturally a big compliment and motivation for us," said Lalangue. The addition of Landis brings the team up to 22 riders for next year, and since UCI rules stipulate that a Pro Tour team must have at least 25 riders, management has stated that Lalangue is negotiating with additional riders to fill the roster.
