Tadej Pogačar Suffers Spiral Injury, Faces Potential Surgery Due to Severe Internal Bleeding
Slovenian cycling star Tadej Pogačar has reportedly suffered a severe spiral fracture along with internal bleeding, raising concerns about his future in the ongoing season. The two-time Tour de France winner was involved in a serious crash during a training session, leaving him in critical condition and facing the possibility of surgery.
According to initial reports, Pogačar sustained the injury after losing control on a descent, causing a high-impact crash.

Additionally, doctors discovered internal bleeding, which could further complicate his recovery. He was immediately transported to a nearby hospital, where specialists are closely monitoring his condition.
Doctors are currently evaluating whether surgery is necessary to stabilize the fracture and address the internal bleeding. A decision is expected within the next 24 to 48 hours, depending on his body’s response to initial treatments. If surgery is required, Pogačar could face a lengthy rehabilitation period, potentially sidelining him for the rest of the season.
His team, UAE Team Emirates, has yet to release an official statement regarding the full extent of his injuries but has assured fans that he is receiving the best possible medical care. Messages of support have poured in from fellow cyclists, teams, and fans worldwide, all hoping for a swift and full recovery.
Pogačar’s injury comes as a major blow to his ambitions for the 2025 season, particularly with the Tour de France and other major races on the horizon. His recovery timeline will become clearer in the coming days, but for now, the cycling world waits anxiously for positive updates on one of its brighte
