And they waste their money on doctors like Fuentes. Clearly the way forward to exceptional form be to sign Dr.Bhatavadekar as dentist.

Really bad, Ram. Thankfully, you already got done with your six-figure contract negotiations. Anyway, you'll be back flying again by Paris-Nice.

Dental treatment is something lots of people delay too long and professional cyclists are better at ignoring pain than most people. Teams should give everybody a good dental exam at the beginning of the off-season. I'd recommend neo-pros get their wisdom teeth removed before the first training camp - those things are nothing but trouble!

Must be bad brushing habits.

Aye, stingy bastards. Negotiations were surprisingly swimming when I got the annual six figure contract. Turns out, I was negotiating in pounds and they in Rupees.

Just some blood which got collected in the gums been sucking out all the beauties from it all day. It's tastier than saliva.

Imagine not starting a race due to toothache and then packing midway in your next race with tummy trouble.   Your worst nightmare ::)
