Tadej Pogacar Requires Surgery After Crash at Vuelta a Espana
Pogacar will require surgery for his clavicle fracture, which will be delayed due to concussion precautions.
Pogacar was diagnosed with a concussion, a displaced left clavicle fracture, a stable C7 cervical fracture, and multiple abrasions.
Following Pogacar's withdrawal, Enric Mas became the race leader, with Felix Gall in second place and Primoz Roglic in third.
“After seven days, Tadej was happy and it’s a very big shame for him. Cycling is about good and bad, and [we hope] Tadej recovers as soon as possible because hopefully it’s not something too bad. We’re not going to think about that right now, but we’ll see what the doctor says.”
