Tadej Pogačar undergoes successful clavicle surgery after Vuelta a España crash

Tadej Pogačar has undergone successful surgery on his fractured left clavicle following the crash that ended his Vuelta a España.

UAE Team Emirates-XRG confirmed the latest update on Monday evening, two days after the Slovenian abandoned the Grand Tour on stage eight.

Pogačar had initially been unable to undergo the operation due to precautions relating to a concussion he sustained in the crash. Having since received medical clearance, he has now had surgery at Hospital Universitari Dexeus in Barcelona, Spain, and is expected to remain in hospital for monitoring.
