Other news outlets suggest he has fractured his jaw and having had an operation is doing fine.

Might be a relief for Alpine team, Nando may not be able to whinge so much over radio when driving their F1 car.  :D

Mark Webber should have warned him how dangerous those things are.

I've seen the Alonso doc on Netflix.  I'm not saying that Alonso is at fault.  I'm just saying I wouldn't be surprised if he was riding his bike like a maniac and caught a driver off guard.

And would do it again.

And this is why drivers should always check the traffic before turning into a supermarket...

Seriously, get well soon Fernando!

Think Nando could also have been more aware of the danger, as he passed standing traffic, to avoid a Grosjean inspired move from the motorist.   ;)

Fernando has been discharged from hospital. This makes me happy.
