Tadej Pogačar has been discharged from a Barcelona hospital after undergoing surgery for a fractured left collarbone.

The Slovenian cyclist was injured in a crash during the eighth stage of the Vuelta a España. He tried to continue but soon realized he could not, abandoning the race while he was leading.

Doctors also diagnosed Pogačar with a concussion, a stable fracture of the C7 cervical vertebra and multiple abrasions. He will return home and begin recovery and rehabilitation under the supervision of the UAE Emirates team’s medical staff.

The operation took place at Hospital Universitari Dexeus and was performed by Xavier Mir, who has also operated on MotoGP riders including Dani Pedrosa, Jorge Lorenzo, Marc Márquez and Jorge Martín. The crash marked Pogačar’s seventh abandonment since joining UAE in 2019, but his first withdrawal from a stage race.
