  • What insurance are you thinking of?

    If there is no underlying problem, and he passes all UCI health checks, then I think it'll be his decision if he returns or not. Hopefully he'll take his time and consult with a range of experts on possible issues before any decision is made.

    Added later: Apparently the cause was an 'unstable cardiac arrhythmia'. I can think of quite a few pro cyclists who've suffered from tachycardia, Stuart O'Grady for one, so it doesn't seem to be necessarily career ending.

  • I’d have thought there were several insurance hurdles depending on his employment status.
    Also don’t riders need to be insured to compete? Maybe the UCI health check clearance would satisfy that though.
