in a crash during the Liege-Bastogne-Liege one-day race in April and underwent surgery to treat a scaphoid fracture. The UAE Team Emirates' medical director said at the time his recovery would take six weeks.
"I pushed the team and tried to go on the bike, but I knew that I couldn't put too much pressure on the scaphoid," Pogacar told reporters. "We'll see if we can start to put more pressure on the hand.

Pogacar is training in the Sierra Nevada mountains and will head into the July 1-23 Tour de France with just two days of racing at the Slovenian National Championships, opting not to defend his Tour of Slovenia title later this month.
