Peter Sagan is expected to be relatively short-lived in his efforts to qualify for the Mountain bike cross-country event at the Paris Olympics, and ultimately his efforts to race.The 3rd Road World champion says he is confident he will return to training after his 2nd heart surgery this year after 15 days of rest.

A Slovak rider who returned from a world tour to concentrate on mountain biking at the end of last season had a heart recording device implanted at 2.23 am after having problems with an abnormal heart rhythm while racing in Spain.

Sagan, who had announced his participation in Specialized Factory Racing last week, was expected to line up for the MTB French Cup in Marseille last weekend, but supraventricular tachycardia was detected during a training ride on Saturday 3/16 and flagged as requiring a "pit stop" in his heart the next day. Sagan, who underwent that operation, shared the medical report on social media on Thursday. Dr. Roberto Corsetti, a sports cardiologist who takes care of Peter, decided to do a new electrophysiological cardiac assessment. Yesterday, at 3.20 am, at Torrette Lancisi University Hospital in Ancona, Transcatheter ablation of supraventricular tachycardia was performed by Professor Antonio Dello Russo in front of Dr. Corsetti," the post states.

Sagan foreshadowed that before the second step he did not expect to turn off his bike for long in what is an important crossroads of his plans for Paris. The 34-year-old has focused not only on training for the Olympics but also on the lead in the race this season, as he or any of the other riders from his country will provide a big turn-up to the results to ensure Slovakia can qualify for a spot in 36 areas. As you need to. 

Countries ranked 1-8 in the qualifying rankings can send two riders to the race on Monday July29, while those ranked 9-19 qualify for one. The ranking period ends on 5/26, and according to the Uci ranking page, Slovakia is currently ranked 35th.

"I felt very well into the quick pit stop that my heart needed, and after 15 days of rest I'm sure I'll train back on my bike," sagan said after the post that he was training a little before the first Uci Mountain Bike World Cup Series Men's cross-country Olympic Race in 2024. It will take a day to resume training, which raises quite a few questions about whether he will be held at the event in Myliporan Brazil on 4/14.Just over 3 weeks away. 

It will also soon be followed by another round of the series, with the World Cup staying in Brazil and moving to Alaxa, Minas Gerais, on 4/21, other major events of the Precious Points qualifying period include the European Championship cross-country race on Sunday 5/12 and the last event to enter into it. The World Cup will be held in Novémústo on 5/26.
