Tadej Pogačar undergoes successful clavicle surgery after Vuelta crash

Tadej Pogačar, the leader of the Vuelta a España, has successfully undergone surgery on his left clavicle following a severe crash during stage eight of the race. The procedure was performed by specialist Dr. Xavier Mir at Hospital Universitari Dexeus in Barcelona.

The crash, which occurred approximately 32 kilometers from the finish, resulted in multiple injuries, including a concussion, a displaced left clavicle fracture, a stable C7 cervical vertebra fracture, and various abrasions. Surgery was initially delayed to allow for concussion protocols to be completed.

Pogačar, who held a 3:50 lead over Enric Mas at the time of the incident, has been forced to withdraw from the competition. He will remain hospitalized for several days for post-operative monitoring before returning home to continue his rehabilitation under the supervision of the UAE Team Emirates medical staff. His ability to compete in upcoming events, such as the World Championships in Montreal, remains uncertain.
