Sagan oggi si opera al cuore dopo la paura a Valencia: supera 200 battiti in mountain bike

Tachicardia anomala in gara: lo slovacco ha subito pensato a Colbrelli. Ricoverato ad Ancona, farà un’ablazione

He didn't have 'heart surgery', he had a device implanted under his skin.

"Following the operation on Friday the rider took to social media to give a brief update: “Hello guys, just a brief update. Everything is under control and in just a few days I'll be back on my @iamspecialized bike !! Here's an English translation of the original medical report in Italian,” Sagan wrote on Instagram.

The document supplied by Sagan stated that he was in good health and that a monitor had not been fitted to his heart. The operation was carried out at Lancisi University Hospital in Ancona

“The athlete is fine. An internal electrophysiological study was carried out, which excluded any supraventricular or ventricular arrhythmia of pathological significance,” the statement read.

"A subcutaneous event recorder has been implanted which will allow the future monitoring of the athlete. The procedure was carried out by Professor Antonio Dello Russo - Director of the Cardiology and Arrhythmology Clinic of the Marche University Hospital - and by his team, with the presence of Dr. Roberto Corsetti - the athlete's trusted cardiologist.”

Sagan will spend a short amount of time off the bike, roughly five to eight days, before returning to training. On Friday his spokesperson told GCN that a return to competition was scheduled within the next three weeks as Sagan looks to step up his mountain biking campaign ahead of the Olympic Games in Paris.

“We’ve discussed the situation with the team, with Specialized and we just decided to control the situation immediately so that we can be sure there’s nothing serious. It’s a routine thing to make sure there’s no stress or worries,” his spokesperson said.

“He will stay off the bike for between five to eight days and that’s just to recover from the little surgery. So our plan is to race in Marseille in 20 days.”

The question is, what will the device discover? Will he need a different device (ICD)? An ablation? Other?

I’ve had very brief episodes similar to this, I’ll be following to see if anything gets discovered. Hopefully no further issues.

And just like that, in the shadow of the Tour, riding for a bizarrely French named Slovakian team, Sagan rode his final professional road race, ending at home in Slovakia in a place with more consonants than should be allowed in almost as much anonymity to the outside world as it began when he signed for Liquigas all those years ago.

My one big cycling love - irrational as those things are.

Thanks for the memories. I will never forget.

It's kinda weird.
I know - based on logic and common sense - that he had his breakthrough at some point after I started watching.
But it sometimes feels like one day he was just... there as an already well established name.

Couldn't you say that about all riders?

He announced his retirement today. I like that dude. I rode with him and his brother at an off road fondo near Tahoe years ago. They spent some time with me, a degenerate, but when the dentists and ophthalmologists turned up they upped the pace.

Cool dude and I hope he opens a restaurant with the world's best Cesar salad.

Maybe you think differently.

Such an important rider for the development of cycling. It was always fun to see him at the races. It's a pity that it became very quiet around him towards the end of his career and that he is now quietly and secretly disappearing completely from cycling. It was nice that he was there, it was very entertaining and he was also a great athlete.
