Career
After four years in the amateur ranks, Navardauskas turned professional with Garmin–Cervélo in 2011.[4]
During the 2012 Giro d'Italia, Navardauskas finished sixth in the opening individual time trial; twenty-two seconds shy of American Taylor Phinney (BMC Racing Team).[1][10] In stage four's team time trial, Garmin–Barracuda were victorious, and Navardauskas took the race lead. He became the first Lithuanian to wear the pink jersey.[1][11] However, Navardauskas lost the jersey to Italian Adriano Malori (Lampre–ISD) on stage six. In April 2015, Navardauskas won the Circuit de la Sarthe by a single second over Manuele Boaro, winning the race for the second consecutive year.[12]
In September 2017 Navardauskas had a successful heart surgery for a cardiac arrhythmia.[13]
Personal life
Born in Šilalė, Navardauskas previously resided in Oliva, Valencian Community, Spain.[4] In September 2017, he married fellow Lithuanian cyclist Gabrielė Jankutė, and the couple have a son, born in 2020.[14]
