Meet the New Boss: Who Is Floyd Landis?

Daniel Coyle knows the new American in Paris, and he tells you in this great Outside online story.

Landis, 30, is the kind of person other bike racers like to tell stories about. ... There is "The Time Floyd Dove into a Dumpster to Get a Pair of Shoes" and "The Time Floyd and Z-Man Drank 30 Cappuccinos in One Sitting" and "The Time Floyd Rode the Tour de France Nine Weeks After Having Major Hip Surgery."

"If you overtrained, it means that you didn't train hard enough to handle that level of training," Landis says, his fingertip rapping the table for emphasis. "So you weren't overtrained; you were actually undertrained to begin with. So there's the rule again: The guy who trains the hardest, the most, wins."

Bicycling onlline interviewed Floyd after his epic stage win.

Martin Dugard has a blog entry on Floyd's win and a "Rebel Rebel" story he wrote for the Los Angeles Times in June.
