Surgery on Pogačar's clavicle went well Monday, faster than expected — he cleared concussion protocol ahead of schedule and had the operation the same day instead of waiting until Tuesday or Wednesday. That's the easy part done; the fracture was displaced, and the concussion and hospital observation are what actually decide if Montreal happens.
UAE Team Emirates-XRG medical director Adrian Rotunno confirmed the surgery "went well" and that Pogačar will stay in hospital for several days of observation. The speed here is notable: Gianetti had floated Tuesday or Wednesday for the operation, contingent on concussion clearance, and that clearance came early. But a completed clavicle repair doesn't erase the rest of the injury profile, and no comeback timeline has been given. Twenty-seven days remain until the Worlds road race in Montreal — a fixed operation is now the least uncertain part of that math.
