The world of professional cycling has been shaken by the news that Tadej Pogačar, one of the sport’s brightest stars, has suffered a spiral fracture accompanied by severe internal bleeding. The incident occurred during a high-intensity training session as the Slovenian rider was preparing for upcoming races. According to his team, UAE Team Emirates, Pogačar was quickly transported to a nearby hospital where he is currently under close medical supervision. Initial reports suggest that surgery may be unavoidable to control the internal bleeding and stabilize the fracture.
Doctors revealed that the injury involves a complex spiral fracture, likely requiring surgical intervention to prevent further complications. The severity of the internal bleeding has raised significant concerns, prompting a team of specialists to monitor his condition around the clock. “Tadej’s condition is serious, and our main focus is ensuring his safety and full recovery,” said a representative from UAE Team Emirates. “We will not rush any decisions about his return to cycling until he is completely healthy.”
This setback comes at a particularly unfortunate time for Pogačar, who was in peak form and targeting multiple key races this season, including the Tour de France. His absence would deal a massive blow to his team’s ambitions, as well as to the fans who have been eagerly anticipating his return to competition. Discussions about potential replacements have already begun, but filling the void left by the two-time Tour de France champion will be a monumental task.
Social media has been flooded with messages of support from fans and fellow riders alike, wishing Pogačar a speedy recovery. Pogačar himself managed to send a brief message through his team’s social media channels: “I will fight to get back stronger. Thank you for all your support.” As the cycling world waits anxiously for further updates, all eyes remain on Pogačar’s path to recovery.
