Slovenian cycling star Tadej Pogacar said Monday he counted himself "lucky" to have only broken a wrist in a "crazy crash" in the Liège-Bastogne-Liège classic.

Two-time Tour de France champion Tadej Pogacar broke a wrist in a fall at the Liège-Bastogne-Liège one day classic on Sunday and will undergo immediate surgery.

Slovenian star Tadej Pogacar was forced to retire from the Liege-Bastogne-Liege one-day classic on Sunday after a fall 85 kilometers into the race.

You know the cobbled classics, but what about the Ardennes Classics with Amstel Gold Race, Flèche Wallonne, and Liège-Bastogne-Liège? And who's won all three of them – or the Ardennes Triple? It's worth exploring especially after Tadej Pogacar's recent wins.

It would be a history-making ride if Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) won Liège-Bastogne-Liège on Sunday. He's the hot favorite coming into the race, and would make for a magical 2023 on the heels of one-day wins in the Tour of Flanders, the Amstel Gold Race, and the Flèche Wallonne.

Tadej Pogacar will take on the world in Sunday's Liège-Bastogne-Liège in Belgium. The two-time Tour de France champion of UAE Team Emirates is back to defend his title on the heels of a stunning Tour of Flanders ride.
