Tadej Pogacar has left the hospital in Barcelona, where he underwent surgery on his collarbone on Monday following a fall during the Vuelta. The 27-year-old Slovenian is now on his way to Monaco to start his rehabilitation.

According to the Slovenian national team's doctor, the chances of Pogacar participating in the World Championship are not realistic. The doctor indicates that, despite a rapid recovery progress, it is unlikely Pogacar will appear at the World Championship at the end of this month.

Earlier reports had suggested that Pogacar could return sooner, but the recent comments from the team doctor cast doubt on these expectations. He emphasizes that recovery takes time and that no hasty conclusions should be drawn.

The situation surrounding Pogacar remains tense, but his focus for now is on recovery in Monaco rather than participating in the upcoming World Championship.
