“My heart rate has been under 40 [beats per minute] since birth or thereabouts...As a result it was wise to take preventative measures to avoid certain problems, particularly at night...I’m now happy about all this,” added Merckx, who was due to leave the hospital on Friday and could be given the all-clear to get back on his bike in about two weeks.

Hmmm...just in time for Paris - Roubaix. :D

Cancellara did a nice interview on Sporza after his win today (of which a surprising amount was in English), and wished Merckx well; mentioned he was 'in hospital', as they say over the pond.

Okay, If Merckx has one, I will complain a lot less if I ever need one.
