"I killed the nerve," he told BiciCiclismo this morning in the Movistar Team hotel in Palma de Mallorca after suffered through his debut yesterday in the Challenge Ciclista de Mallorca. "I was eliminated," he says.
"I'm perfect," he says now and in fact will not miss today's Trofeo Pollença-Andratx. On Monday, he will again visit the dentist.
His pain began in Costa Rica, "two days before" he had to fly to Spain for the official presentation of Team Movistar on Wednesday. In his home country, they decided not to intervene because there was no time between the travelling and the commitments.
