Today is certainly a sad day for cycling, I was lucky enough to meet Aldo and his family, I feel very privileged and will never forget it!

This is a huge loss for the cycling community... Aldo will certainly be missed.

I lost my grandmother to an aggressive, non-operable brain tumor in 2004 - this article cut a little deeper than most.

My heart goes out to Aldo, his family, and friends.
