The results of Pogacar’s medical tests with a view to the Tour

Date:

the slovenian Tadej Pogacar (UAE Emirates) will take a certain step to be at the exit of Tour de France next July 1 at Bilbaobecause computed tomography was performed to see the state of his wrist bones after breaking the Liège-Bastogne-Liège has yielded good results.

“The result of the CT scan is positive. Bones are healing well. Now you can train completely on the road and you will stop training on rollers. Tadej will continue to wear a hand brace as a precaution,” team sources told WielerFlits.

Belgian orthopedic surgeon Joris Deurinckx Pogacar underwent surgery immediately after his fall in Liège-Bastogne-Liège at the Oost-Limburg Hospital in Ghent, confirming that the blow had caused a scaphoid fracture.

“The scaphoid is the ship-shaped bone that is the link between the forearm and the rest of the hand. It is important for the proper functioning of the wrist joint. It can usually heal without surgery, but sometimes it is better to operate to fit the pieces together or not compromise the blood supply to the bone. That’s what we chose in Pogacar”, Deurinckx pointed out.

For his part, Tadej Pogacar pointed out a few days ago that his training sessions are on the right track.

“I’m working hard Sierra Nevada, especially on long walks to work resistance. Our concentration will end on June 11, I will do some medical tests, and then I will spend a few days training in Sestriere,” he explained.
