Landaluze (pictured) tested positive during last month's Dauphine-Libere race in France and Serrano was caught during the Tour of Switzerland, also in June.

"The provisional suspension remains in force until a hearing panel convened by the Spanish federation determines whether they have committed an anti-doping rule violation," the UCI said.

"Both riders have the right to request and attend the analysis of their B samples."

Neither Landaluze, of the Euskaltel team, nor Fuji-Servetto's Serrano are riding the Tour de France.
