Default Landis racing in NUE MTB Series

National Ultra-Endurance MTB Series. This ought to get some people riled up. Especially since they don't do any blood testing.

No need for doping, they're on a level playing field. I look for Landis to take on Chris Etough (sp) and possibily take his title. He almost won Leadville last year and with a few races under his belt I believe he'll dominate the MTB ultra distance racing. This is one of the best things to happen to MTB racing.

People fail to realize that even clean, guys like Landis will still tear the legs off of almost EVERY rider out there. Doping may give them the advantage of winning The Tour rather than finishing mid-pack, but keep perspective. Mid pack at the Tour De France = can still KILL just about anyone else on a bike.

Landis still hasn't lost all of his appeals.

As much as I'd like him to win his appeal, I know it's not going to happen.

I know Floyd - I took his photo a few times (once for the New York Daily News). I've sat in his house and looked at the evidence, and I know for a FACT that he's clean and got railroaded.

I sincerely hope Floyd is able to clear his name.
