Sam Bennett will make his return to the peloton tomorrow for the first time since undergoing heart surgery last November. The 35-year-old had woken suddenly from his sleep on November 14 with heart palpitations and after consultation with a heart specialist Bennett was operated on in Frankfurt. “Once I got a certain amount into recovery for the heart, the fitness actually progressed quite quickly,” said Bennett. Nervous as well, in a good way, and really looking forward to racing again. It will be really nice to race with the guys and properly be part of the team.
