Slovenian cyclist Tadej Pogačar prematurely ended his season after a serious fall in the eighth stage of the Vuelta a España. Five-time Tour de France winner suffered injuries including a broken collarbone, cervical vertebra damage and a concussion. After collarbone surgery, he was discharged from a Barcelona hospital and will focus on recovery in the coming weeks. SITA ↗
The decision means that Pogačar will not defend his title at the world championships in Canada. He will also miss the European championships in Slovenia and the Tour of Lombardy race. His team UAE Team Emirates-XRG announced that a return to competition later this season is not considered, as full recovery from the fall is the priority. ekonomika.pravda.sk ↗
At the same time, the team confirmed an extension of the contract with the twenty-seven-year-old rider until the end of 2032. Pogačar thus remains long-term bound to the team with which he has achieved his greatest results. The contract extension comes at a time when his sports program was interrupted by injury, not performance reasons. teraz.sk ↗
The coming period will mean rehabilitation and gradual return to training according to his health condition for Pogačar. For the team and for the cycling season, this is a significant blow, as the Slovenian was to be among the main favorites for the end of the year. sport.sk ↗
