After a scaphoid fracture sustained in Liège-Bastogne-Liège and subsequent surgery requiring a recovery period of 6 weeks, the Slovenian Tadej Pogacar may join the concentration planned by the UAE in Sierra Nevada in mid-May to start preparing for the Tour de France.
According to the director of the Emirati ensemble Joxean Fernandez, Matxinin Het Laatste Nieuws, “Tadej now has three weeks of vacation”and although the Slovenian will miss a wind tunnel test and the recognition of a series of Tour stages, “if everything goes well he will join the team in altitude training.”
As explained by the UAE Emirates doctor, Dr. Adrian Rotunno, Pogacar broke his wrist in several places, but the operation to realign the bones was successful.
According to the most optimistic plans, Pogacar will join the Sierra Nevada concentration, where the double winner of the Tour de France has trained in recent years, and then he can participate in the Tour of Slovenia, where he will defend the title , from June 14 to 18.
To get to the start line of the Tour de France on July 1 in Bilbao, Matxín is blunt: “There’s a lot of time left for that.”
