Peter Sagan's race to qualify for the Paris Olympics mountain bike cross country event hit another snag after his problems with abnormal heart rhythms resurfaced while he was training in Marseille.
The three-time road world champion announced that he would have to undergo a second surgery next week.
"Nothing to worry about, you could say that my heart needs a pit stop," Sagan wrote.
"I will undergo surgery next week and thanks to my friend, sports cardiologist Dr. Roberto Corsetti, I am sure I will be back in the saddle very soon."
Sagan's last surgery took place just three weeks ago when doctors implanted a monitor to track any irregular cardiac rhythms after excluding any serious issues with his heart.
The news comes two days after the Specialized Factory Racing team officially announced they had signed Sagan for the 2024 season.
