Three-time world champion Peter Sagan will undergo a heart procedure having experienced an abnormal tachycardic episode during a recent mountain bike
race in Spain, when his heart rate exceeded 200bpm.
La Gazzetta dello Sport (link is external) broke the news, the Slovakian
rider who is concentrating his efforts on competing in mountain biking at
the Paris Olympics following the end of a 15-year road career experiencing
