A bidon and a bump in the road led to a chipped tooth for Sepp Kuss

As if riding in the Tour de France was not hard enough on its own, Sepp Kuss has been doing with a chipped tooth since stage 6. The 31-year-old American showed off a half-missing tooth in Victor Campenaerts video blog on Saturday, and he expounded on the strange circumstances behind the incident in a conversation with Wielerflits on Sunday.

"I was just holding the bottle in my mouth for too long and I must have hit a bump and it took the filling out," he said, noting that the problem isn't likely to get fixed any time soon but that it's not bothering him either. "It's looking like it might be the whole Tour. This next rest day, pretty small town, probably not too many dentists, but I'm getting used it now. It's not affecting me at all." [Wielerflits]
