Landis Leads Paris Nice
Floyd Landis is on great form at the moment and it shows with a win in the Tour of california and now the lead in Paris Nice. Landis took the lead today after a decisive break with Lampre’s Spanish rider Patxi Vila. The pair took off on the Col de la Croix de Chaubouret just before the finish in St. Etienne. Vila took the stage win, but Landis took over the GC from Tom Boonen who was riding in the only terrain to give him troubles, the mountains. Otherwise, the young Belgian has been dominant everywhere else.
