A new stop is necessary for Peter Sagan after the operation he underwent last month following abnormal heartbeats during an international XCO race (his heart jumped to over 200). The Slovakian champion should have taken part in the test cross country of the French Cup in Marseille this week but withdrew from the match.

Hi everyone, while I was training on the rocky courses in Marseille, my heart skipped a few beats. Nothing to worry about, but let's just say my heart needs a pit stop. Next week I will undergo an operation and, thanks to my sports cardiologist friend Dr. Roberto Crosetti, I'm sure I'll be back on the bike very soon. Stay tuned, I will update you soon –Peter Sagan

We hope to see Sagan again at the Top without worries.

ppgad@pucrs.br I am passionate about everything that has 2 wheels: in my youth I practiced competitive cycling on the road and on the track with good results. At the age of 18 I moved to cross country competing at national/international level as U23. Once I passed Elite, I made the choice to take things easier from the training point of view, and that's how my love for gravity disciplines was born, training as an FCI MTB instructor and guide. Now I have made my passion my profession by managing 3 MTB centers on the island of Elba (Elba MTB), creating the FANTAmtb and telling in an ironic but professional way, everything that revolves around MTB thanks to 365mountainbike and 365TV (YouTube 'PULITI dentro BIKER fuori').
