Unfortunately, Aldo was collected by a car yesterday morning, whilst out on a ride with work colleagues.
Heading up Norton Summit, Aldo was hit by a car turning right out of Glen Stuart Road. He rolled across the bonnet of the car, and after a brief 'ride' was deposited on the ground.
He took the brunt of the impact on his left leg, and was taken to the RAH by his wife, where a break to his left tibia was diagnosed. He'll be having surgery today, will be home in a couple of days, bearing no weight for a couple of weeks, followed by four more weeks of recovery, and then another six or so weeks of rehab, so he will be off the bike for some time.
Thankfully, he doesn't appear to have an other injuries.
His bike (only a few months old) is still to be inspected, and it's fate is unknown at this time.
The driver claims no to have seen him, which generally means he wasn't looking.
