The Spaniard was among the favourites in this year's Italian
grand tour after finishing third in 2015 but he pulled out
because of a stomach problem during the 10th stage.
"I want to get to the Giro d'Italia in the best possible
condition as it's once again going to be my biggest aim of the
year," Landa told Marca newspaper.
"It's true that I will compete against other riders who have
more experience and have achieved better results than I have.
But in terms of the orography and the climate, the Giro is the
race that is best suited for me."
The 100th edition of the Giro starts on May 5 in Alghero,
Sardinia and finishes with a time trial in Milan on May 28.
