Tour de France winner Floyd Landis possibly for Tour of Britain
Tour de France winner cyclist Floyd Landis could well be the star attraction at this year's Tour of Britain.
The American rider has said he wants to ride for his Phonak team at the Tour of Britain, which starts in Glasgow on 29 August.
Floyd Landis, would be the first reigning Tour de France champion to compete in Britain since Miguel Indurain in 1994, however, he has yet to schedule a date for the hip replacement operation he requires, and medical advice could ruin his Tour of Britain plans.
A Phonak team spokesman said: "If the doctors set a date before September he will not ride in Britain.
"But if the date for the operation is later, he is highly likely to start the British Tour."
Floyd Landis is thought to want to ride in the Tour of Britain because some of the roads used in Kent and London will also feature in next year's Tour de France.
