Caleb Fairly of Colorado (Holowesko Partners) accelerated past Floyd Landis and rode to a solo victory Sunday in the Tour of the Battenkill in upstate New York.
Fairly was the only rider to counter a move by Landis with about 18 miles remaining. He then left the embattled former Tour de France winner and rode the final six-mile dirt road ascent alone en route to nearly a 2 1/2-minute win.
The second-place finish for Landis was his best result since returning to competition last season after a two-year exile and disqualification from the 2006 Tour de France.
Landis did not have podium finish last season while riding for OUCH.
Fly V Australia's Jay Thomson outsprinted Luca Damiani (Kenda p/b Geargrinder) for third, 19 seconds behind Landis
