Unfortunately he came off the worse for wear as he suffered a broken collarbone and also fractured several ribs.
News of Kelly’s crash had spread within the cycling
community in recent weeks and today he took to social media confirming he was
very much on the mend.
“Out for a walk today,” he said. “I’ll
be doing more walking than biking for the next few weeks as I had a crash on
the mountain bike.
