Brennan's fourth time at this year's Vuelta, winner of the sprint.
In the latest stage of this year's Vuelta a España, a group of five escapees built up a two-and-a-half-minute lead after 30 kilometers before reducing it to one minute and thirty seconds by the 90-kilometer mark. The main peloton was led by Steven Kruijswijk and Jorgen Nordhagen, while the Visma-Lease a Bike team increased the pace later in the stage. The advantage of the leading group decreased further, dropping to 35 seconds with 60 kilometers remaining. Portuguese cyclist Ivo Oliveira, who had previously fallen due to an injury to his teammate Tadej Pogačar, quickly recovered and rejoined the race. The Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe team then began to close the gap on the escapees. Enric Mas, the overall leader of this year's Vuelta, remained in front of the peloton. Matthew Brennan won the final sprint for the fourth time in this year's race, becoming the first cyclist in nearly a decade to win four stages in a single grand tour. This victory marked Brennan's first participation in a three-week race, but he did not gain any ground in the general classification. Enric Mas will start the next stage wearing the red jersey, while Primoz Roglic remains in third place, still chasing Felix G
Tadej Pogačar has left hospital following surgery for a broken collarbone after crashing out of the Vuelta a España. The Slovenian cyclist sustained multiple injuries during the incident, including a fractured seventh cervical vertebra (C7), a concussion, and numerous abrasions on his face, hands, and body. His exit from the race marked the end of his hopes for victory at the Spanish Grand Tour and raised questions about whether he could meet other goals in the remainder of the season, including the World Championships, European Championships in Slovenia, and the one-day classic Il Lombardia. Pogačar’s crash occurred in stage eight of the Vuelta, when he hit a rock and fell to the ground at a speed of 66 km/h. The accident forced him to withdraw from the race, marking his first retirement from a Grand Tour in his career. Prior to this year’s Vuelta, Pogačar had finished all his Grand Tours within the top three. He returned to Spain for the first time since 2019, aiming to secure his first Grand Tour victory. Due to the concussion, the operation was initially delayed because anesthesia might have affected his nervous system and possibly slowed the healing process. However, the surgery took place successfully in Barcelona, performed by renowned orthopedic surgeon Xavier Mir, who also operates on MotoGP riders. According to Adrian Rotunno, head of medical services for UAE Team Emirates-XRG, everything went smoothly, and Pogačar would remain in the hospital for several more days under observation. According to reports from Italian newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport, Pogačar left the hospital in Dexeus two days after the surgery and returned home for further care. Attention will now shift to his rehabilitation and whether he might be able to compete again before the end of the cycling season. Pogačar had planned to participate in the World Championships, European Championships, and Il Lombardia, but for now, it remains uncertain if he will be able to take part in any of them. Former Irish champion and current cycling commentator Sean Kelly assessed the implications of Pogačar’s injuries for his future. Kelly noted that the recovery time would determine whether it was realistic to consider competitive goals for the rest of the season. While the collarbone should heal within 14 days, the cervical fracture could be more problematic. Kelly emphasized that the outcome would depend largely on how quickly Pogačar recovers and returns to training. Pogačar recently signed an extended contract with UAE Team Emirates-XRG, committing to stay with the team until the end of the 2032 season. According to reports, the team had initially aimed to secure his services until 2034, but both parties reached a compromise. The new contract gives Pogačar more flexibility in planning his future in professional cycling. Before the crash, Pogačar had planned to defend his world title at the World Championships in Montreal later this month, following victories in Kigali and Zurich in previous years. He also intended to compete in the European Championships in Slovenia and Il Lombardia. However, due to the severity of his injuries, he will miss these events. In a statement posted by his team on 5 September, Pogačar expressed disappointment about how his season ended but emphasized the importance of proper recovery. He stated that the team made the decision after consulting with medical and performance staff to prioritize his recovery and ensure he returns to full health without setting a specific timeline for his return to competition. Medical director Adrian Rotunno confirmed that Pogačar was making good progress after the surgery. He explained that given the combination of injuries, concussion, stable C7 cervical fracture, and open clavicle fracture, the decision was made, in conjunction with Pogačar, that he would not return to competition this season. The priority now is to allow each injury to heal fully and proceed through rehabilitation in a controlled manner. Pogačar left the hospital in Barcelona two days after the surgery and is now recovering at home in Monaco, accompanied by a friend and the team’s masseur, Žiga Jerman. His fiancée, Žigart, posted the first photo of him after leaving the hospital, showing him with his left arm immobilized and visible signs of the crash on his face, hands, and legs. Pogačar’s crash highlighted the unpredictability of elite sports, where even the most dominant athletes can be brought down by unforeseen circumstances. The incident has shifted the focus from his potential achievements to the necessity of patience and recovery. As he begins the long road to rehabilitation, attention turns to whether he can make a comeback and continue his career with the same determination that has defined his success thus far.
