Philip Deignan and his fiancee Lizzy Armitstead at last night’s awards ceremony
LETTERKENNY cyclist Philip Deignan is set to be out of the saddle for a month after breaking his elbow on the final day of a team training camp in Majorca yesterday.
The Team Sky member was knocked of his bike by a car as he went round a roundabout. He was booked on a flight to Belfast yesterday evening where he attended the BBC Sports Personality of the Year ceremony with his fiancee Lizzy Armitstead who had been short-listed for the overall award.
It is understood that pre-season training had been going well for Deignan who still holds aspirations of representation Ireland at next summer’s Olympic Games in Rio.
