“All is going very good after the Arthroscopy, no pain, not much swelling and I feel good. I went for my first ride and it went very well. Now I will just follow the normal rehab protocol, build up my left leg up again and as soon as I can get back to normal training again I will be back with my teammates out on the road and the races,” Haussler, after the recent surgery, said.

 “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,” Dr Guardascione announced after receiving medical results for Navardauskas.
