José JoaquÍn Rojas (Movistar) underwent a successful surgery to correct a heart defect today. The 30-year-old found out during routine examinations during team camp in Pamlona that he had an irregular heartbeat. He was diagnosed with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, a malfunction in the heart's electrical circuits.
Rojas had the surgery done at the Hospital de Navarra in Pamplona today. Doctors used a catheter to reach his heart and then burned out the nerves causing the problem. It is not expected to affect his 2016 season.
The winner of the opening stage of the Tour of Qatar posted a photo of himself from his hospital bed on Twitter, writing, "Operation done and dusted. I have a heart that is too big for my chest!"
