Pogačar failed to finish a Grand Tour for the first time in his career, and UAE Team Emirates-XRG still hasn't given him a return date. That silence is deliberate, not evasive.
Dr. Adrian Rotunno put it plainly: «There is no benefit in accelerating that process simply to meet a racing deadline.» A clavicle fracture usually heals in six to 12 weeks, but Pogačar's also carries a stable C7 cervical fracture, and the team has chosen to treat both without a target. That patience only makes sense against the contract extension through 2032 signed the same week — UAE isn't managing a season, it's managing a decade.
