Will Walker was taken to hospital after suffering heart problems during the Cycling Australia Road National Championships race in Ballarat on Sunday.
The 28-year-old Synergy Baku rider gave up cycling in 2009 after being diagnosed with tachycardia, an excessively rapid heartbeat.
He returned to racing in 2012 with Drapac before joining Baku for the 2014 season.
Walker had been very active in Sunday's 183km race, involved in the large breakaway of the day. However he pulled the pin on his ride towards the end of the race and sought medical treatment.
“I was at 270 beats for an hour with almost no cardiac output. I had to have a cardio inverter to reset my rhythm after amiodarone did not prove succesful,” said Walker.
Walker is now at home recovering with his family, while his future cycling plans are unclear.
“I'm lucky to be alive! Life is great!”

That is the message from Dorking cancer survivor Chris Eglington.
He was diagnosed with prostate cancer 10 years ago.
He has now been given the all clear and volunteers himself to talk about the topic.
Chris tells us how he reacted when he found out he had prostate cancer: "It hit me like a complete bombshell.
"Like most men at my age at the time, I didn't have a clue what it was all about.
"You think of cancer, you think of death.
"Well that's not the case now with prostate cancer.
"If it's caught early, and you have the right treatment, you can actually make a recovery."
Chris adds that men must talk about their health problems: "Men are the worst people to talk about any symptoms that really are below the belt."
Prostate Cancer UK has now launched its second wave of the Men United campaign.
It aims to empower men to talk about their issues.
