Sagan updates his status after the surgery: "Everything is under control and in just a few days I'll be back on my Specialized bike!"
This same morning we learned the news that Peter Sagan was going to be operated on for a cardiac arrhythmia discovered last weekend in Chelva. The heart of the three-time world champion raced up to 200 beats per minute on several occasions. Now, he has just updated his status after the operation.
Peter Sagan has already been operated on his heart and it seems he will soon be back on the bike
This is the full post that he himself shared on his Instagram account:
Hello guys, just a brief update. Everything is under control and in just a few days I'll be back on my Specialized bike!! Here's an English translation of the original medical report in Italian:
The athlete is fine.
An internal electrophysiological study was carried out, which excluded any supraventricular or ventricular arrhythmia of pathological significance.
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.

From the report, it appears that Sagan still seems fit for competition and by his words it seems that the Slovak will continue with his plan to reach the Paris Olympics next August.
