A Time Trial specialist as well as a strong Climber , Landis turned pro in 1999 with the Mercury squad, joined Lance Armstrong 's U S Postal Service team in 2002 , and moved to the Phonak team in 2005 .

In the 2005 Tour De France , Landis finished 9th overall in the General Classification , his highest finish ever in the Tour .

Landis started the 2006 season very strong, with overall wins first in the Amgen Tour Of California , and then in the prestigious Paris-Nice , both week-long stage races. Winning Paris-Nice gave Landis 52 points in the UCI ProTour individual competition, starting him off in first place for 2006. Landis continued with his display of strength in the 2006 season with another overall win in the Tour De Georgia April 18-23, where he not only won the time trial, but also did not lose any time to anyone on the most difficult climbing stage (where Tom Danielson beat him across the uphill finish line, but with the same time).
