La complicada cirugía de Tadej Pogacar pone en seria duda su participación en el Mundial de Canadá

Cyclist Tadej Pogacar underwent complex surgery in Barcelona to repair a fractured collarbone, casting serious doubt on his participation in the World Championships in Canada. Diario de Mallorca reports that surgeon Xavier Mir performed the procedure, which required metal nails and plates to reconstruct the damaged clavicle.
The operation was more complex than initially expected. Surgeon Xavier Mir needed to insert nails and metal plates to properly rebuild Pogacar's fractured clavicle, Levante-EMV reports. This type of reconstruction suggests a serious break that will require extended recovery time.
The timing of this injury puts Pogacar's participation in the upcoming World Championships in Canada at serious risk. Información states the complicated nature of the surgery makes his attendance for the elite road race highly unlikely. Professional cyclists typically need months to return to competition after major collarbone repairs.
Pogacar chose one of Spain's most experienced orthopedic specialists for the procedure. Xavier Mir, based in Barcelona, is known for treating elite athletes with complex bone injuries. La Opinión de A Coruña confirms he led the surgical team. His expertise offers hope for optimal long-term recovery, though immediate return to racing remains unlikely.
