How many heartbeats per minute does a top cyclist have at rest?

32

Background

Top cyclists like Miguel Indurain came down to just 28 to 32 heartbeats per minute at rest. A normal adult usually sits between 60 and 80. The very slow heart is a sign of highly trained endurance. In a race it then beats over 180 times a minute.
