The Slovenian cyclist Tadej Pogacar, from the UAE Emirates team, was successfully operated on for a fracture in his left collarbone after abandoning the Vuelta a España on Saturday.
The surgical intervention proceeded without complications, according to information released after the operation.
Pogacar's abandonment at the Vuelta represents a significant setback for the rider, who intended to battle for the general classification of the Spanish race.
The fracture in the left collarbone occurred as a result of a fall during the competition, forcing the cyclist to retire from the race before it was finished.
