Cyclingnews reports that the HealthNet/Maxxis team has found a new sponsor- which is a big relief for many guys in the pro peloton. What’s interesting is the following:
USA’s Floyd Landis, 32, will make his return to professional cycling after a two-year suspension with the team currently sponsored by Health Net-Maxxis, under a new title sponsor for 2009, sources confirmed with Cyclingnews.
