As Tadej Pogačar begins his slow recovery process from his major crash in the Vuelta a España, Basque stage racing specialist Mikel Landa recommended that one way that the UAE Team Emirates-XRG leader could try to get over the setback on a mental level was by beginning to plan for 2027.
Pogačar's crash has left the Slovenian star with a broken collarbone and a broken neck vertebrae, as well as wrecking his plans to try and conquer the only Grand Tour he has never won.
