Floyd Landis and Dave Zabriskie will return to competition in 2017 during the pro/am event of the Tour of the Battenkill gran fondo in May.
Landis’ cannabis product business, Floyd’s of Leadville, has signed on as presenting sponsor for the event, which grew out of the former UCI and National Racing Calendar event of the same name.
The one-day, 120km tour includes a pro/am competitive event that Landis and Zabriske will ride, a non-competitive ‘open’ event and a 41.5km ‘Tour for Pink’ breast cancer awareness benefit ride.

Landis, who is now CEO of Floyd’s of Leadville, finished second to Caleb Fairly in the 2010 Tour of the Battenkill as a member of the Bahati Foundation Cycling Team during his final year of professional racing.
"Battenkill was one of my last races as a pro and it'll be special to come back in support of the event and our new products," Landis said in a press release promoting the event.
Next year will be Zabriske’s first attempt at Battenkill. He raced the Leadville 100 MTB race earlier this year.
