Lithuanian road race champion Ramunas Navardauskas (Bahrain Merida) has been diagnosed with a cardiac arrhythmia and will take a break from racing, his team have confirmed.
Dr Carlo Guardascione, Medical Staff of team Bahrain Merida announced the news after receiving medical results for Navardauskas.
”As a result of extensive cardiac examinations of level 2 carried out at the National Olympic Centre in Lithuania, the presence of a cardiac arrhythmia requires a period of rest and de-training of at least one month, after that a further cardiological check-up will definitively clarify the evolution of the cardiac anomaly found,” confirmed Dr. Guardascione
“I feel OK,” said Navardauskas, “and I miss racing very much. So far I am resting at home in Lithuania and waiting for what doctors will tell me to do. I hope it is just overtired after last two seasons and that I will be back on the bike soon.”
