Angel Nieto: His sons Pablo and Gelete speak

Angel Nieto – A few days ago it was his sons Pablo and Gelete Nieto who sparked some hope, when they communicated to the press that the conditions of their father, Angel Nieto, were slowly improving. Then the sudden worsening yesterday, and the death of the multiple world champion.

The MotoGP paddock is in shock but, obviously, those who are suffering the most at the moment are Angel's children, who formed a very close family with their father.

Pablo Nieto, team manager of the Sky Vr46 team, this morning thanked all the people who were close to him, as reported by the Spanish website Marca.com: “It's incredible, I appreciated it. My father deserves a goodbye like he had, in a big way. All those who want to stand by him will be able to."

Gelete also thanked: “As I said yesterday when I left the hospital, my father was a good boy, a great father and a great sportsman. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart, my whole family is grateful. My father was very cheerful, funny, he was also very nice and that's what we are trying to be now."
