The operation on Tadej Pogacar's left clavicle fracture was more complicated than initially expected and required a delicate surgical intervention that, fortunately, was successful, according to his team and medical sources. The Slovenian rider suffered the injury during the race and underwent a delicate surgery to repair the damage.
The complexity of the injury now makes Pogacar's participation in the World Championship in Montreal, Canada, where he had ambitions to achieve a third consecutive victory in this competition, unviable. Participation in the race was being seen as an impossible challenge to undertake under the current circumstances.
Pogacar is considered one of the best cyclists of the current era, and his absence would represent a significant loss for the competition. The World Championship in Montreal was one of the major objectives of his season, but the severity of the fracture to his left clavicle makes his presence increasingly unlikely.
