The Slovenian rider Tadej Pogacar suffered a crash during the Vuelta a España that caused a fracture in his collarbone and cervical vertebra, as well as a cerebral concussion and abrasions. The accident happened during competition and required immediate medical evaluation.
The operation to correct the injuries is currently pending, awaiting better conditions to be performed. The doctors are monitoring the rider's health status before proceeding with the surgical intervention.
The final stretch of Pogacar's season is at risk, with the possibility of being sidelined from competitions for a prolonged period. This means his participation in the World Cycling Championships may also be compromised.
The rider, who is one of the biggest names in world cycling, thus sees a season marked by great results interrupted, with participation in the Worlds representing one of his main goals for the remainder of the year.
