Landis Courted by Discovery Channel
I was really shocked to read the following posted at Cyclingnews.com:
Landis confirmed reports that he had been approached by Discovery Channel to come back to his former team, but told Cyclingnews that he'd decided to finish his contract with Phonak at the end of 2006. "What I am happy about is that my relationship with Lance Armstrong and Johan Bruyneel is back to where it was. There were some misunderstandings and some things just got exaggerated, but I'm glad to say I have a good relationship with Discovery Channel again."
Based on what I've read about the relationship between Lance Armstrong and Landis, I didn't think there was any chance that Armstrong would want Landis back on his team. I, for one, am glad Landis is not returning to Armstrong's fold 'cause the battle between Landis and Tom Danielson at next year's Tour de Georgia will be awesome.
