Floyd Landis was 35th after the third stage of the Tour of Southland in New Zealand.

He was 3 minutes, 16 seconds behind overall leader Heath Lovegrove after the 102-mile stage on Tuesday.

Landis won the 2006 Tour de France but was disqualified and suspended for two years after doping tests showed elevated levels of testosterone. He returned to competition in January's Tour of California.

Landis rides for the New Zealand-based Cyclingnzshop.com-Bio Sport team.
