Hit from behind by a German tourist driving a Fiat 500 while riding his Quad on a road in Ibiza where he has a house, Angel Nieto was taken to the Nuestra Señora del Rosario Polyclinic where a strong Blood effusion was detected inside the skull.
Doctors decided to place him in an induced coma and on artificial respiration in the intensive care unit, hoping that the internal hematoma would resolve on its own, so no surgery was performed at this time.
This morning, Angel Nieto's health remains stable and, according to the doctors, he had a good night's sleep. At least that's what one of his sons, Gelete, announced to the media stationed in front of the door of the clinic where the Spanish champion remains hospitalized.
“He remains stable, with acceptable pressure in the head, and that is very important. Between 4 and 5, a parameter which, I believe, is fair. We need to have patience in such cases, and stay positive. We shouldn't operate because the clot in his head may reabsorb itself. It is developing correctly and we must be patient. Soon they will do an examination and little by little we will have more information” he said.
Pablo, another of his sons, who manages the Sky VR46 team, preferred to remain silent.
All our thoughts go to the entourage of the 12+1 times world champion in this new fight that he must lead at the age of 70.
