Tour title tipped to go Stateside again as Landis goes on trial

THE American dominance of the Tour de France looks set to continue as Floyd Landis remained in pole position to win this year’s title going into the final weekend of action.

Landis’s amazing win in Morzine left him in the driving seat to carry on where compatriot and seven-time winner Lance Armstrong left off going into today’s time trial in Le Creusot.

The Phonak rider remained in third place overall, just 30 seconds behind yellow jersey holder Oscar Pereiro, after yesterday’s stage 18 in Macon, which was won by Quick Step rider Matteo Tosatto.
