Tao Geoghegan Hart has successfully undergone surgery to reduce his fracture in the hip and femur area following his crash during stage 11 of the Giro d’Italia.
"I'm devastated this is how my Giro ended," Geoghegan Hart wrote on social media on Wednesday evening." Thank you all for your messages and support. I was so excited about the remainder of this race and loving every minute of it. Arrivederci Giro d'Italia."
The Villa Scassi hospital also issued a brief update. "The surgery was carried out by the team of Dr. Luca Pandolfo, the director of the Orthopedic and Trauma unit of the Villa Scassi hospital. The surgery and post-operation phase went well. The patient is is good condition and is starting a process of rehabilitation."
With Filippo Ganna and Tao Geoghegan Hart out of Giro d'Italia, INEOS Grenadiers' forces are down to six men. Sivakov, who crashed with Hart in stage 11, seems to have recovered well enough to continue the race in support of Geraint Thomas.
