Ramūnas Navardauskas has recovered from successful surgery to correct a cardiac arrhythmia that sidelined the 29-year-old Lithuanian since he abandoned the final stage of the Criterium du Dauphine in June.
Bahrain-Merida say their second-year rider's condition "is getting better every day and he is already on the schedule for next season." The team are currently at a training camp in Hvar, Croatia.
"After the ablation treatment done in Munich last September, Ramūnas Navardauskas obtained the physical fitness for complete training and racing in Turin on 2nd December," said Bahrain-Merida team doctor Carlo Guardascione.

"During the cardiology tests in Turin, no arrhythmia or heart problem occurred, so there will be no special therapy. He is 100 percent capable of training with his teammates."
Navardauskas, who has won stages in the Giro d'Italia and Tour de France, said he was excited to train at full strength after months of low-intensity efforts.
"I am thankful for the support from my team and the medical staff, because without it the situation would have been very different," he said in a statement posted on the team's website.
