The UAE has come forward to reveal the injuries suffered by Pogacar.

The article reports on the official statement from UAE Team Emirates-XRG regarding the health condition of Slovenian cyclist Tadej Pogačar after a severe crash during the eighth stage of the Tour de France in Spain. The team confirmed that Pogačar had to withdraw from the race due to the incident and was taken to the hospital where he underwent extensive examinations. Dr. Adrian Rotunno, the team's medical director, stated that Pogačar's condition is stable but revealed serious injuries including a concussion, dislocated left clavicle, and a fracture of the seventh cervical vertebra (C7), along with multiple subluxations.

Tadej Pogačar has already won the opening lap and the red jersey.

Slovenski kolesar Tadej Pogačar je zmagal na uvodnem kronometru na kolesarski dirki Vuelta po Španiji, kar mu je omogočilo, da je oblekel rdečo majico.

Pogačar, ki je zmagovalec Tour de France letos, ima zdaj 128 zmag v svoji karijeri, medtem ko drugi slovenski kolesarji so se pojavili v daljšem mestu. Tekma je potekala na znanih monaških cestah in deloma tudi na ulicah, ki gostijo prestižno dirko Formule 1.

Marc Soler will miss this year's Vuelta due to injuries sustained during a training crash. The UAE Team Emirates cycling team has revealed their lineup to support Slovenian champion Tadej Pogačar in his quest for his first Vuelta victory, which would place him among the elite winners of all three Grand Tours. Soler, one of Pogačar's most loyal helpers since joining the team in 2022, suffered a serious injury after breaking three ribs and damaging his elbow during a fall on a training ride. He was forced to withdraw from the second stage of the Giro d'Italia and had planned to return later in the season to assist Pogačar at the Vuelta. However, he will now miss the race due to ongoing recovery needs.
