Former TIME Rider In Serious Condition
Former TIME Factory Development Team rider, Tiago De Paula, now a member of the Aero Cat / Latino Professional Cycling Team, was severely injured around 5pm on May 22nd, 2008, when a car abruptly turned in front of him while he was traveling at a high rate of speed in his warm-up for the opening time trial of the Tour of Atlanta in Buford, GA. Tiago was air-evacuated to Atlanta Medical Center.
In the collision, Tiago sustained multiple facial fractures and is currently in the Intensive Care Unit awaiting the first of several facial reconstructive surgeries. Some of his friends and members of the cycling community are working to raise money to aid his recovery and payment of what will be very significant medical expenses. His cycling team has set up a Riders Recovery Fund to benefit Tiago.
