This was probably one of the worst racing weekend’s for popular Spanish rider Fonsi Nieto who rides a Moriwaki MD600 for his cousins Pablo and Gelete Nieto’s G22 Holiday Gym Moto2 team.
Nieto was one of the several Moto2 riders that crashed during the Moto2 qualifying session at Indianapolis and in the crash broke both his left heel and ankle bone and was later shipped off to the Indianapolis Methodist Hospital by the circuit’s medical center to be operated on and naturally did not take part in Sunday’s race.
On Sunday night after complaining of intense pain after his operation, Nieto was administered a stronger pain killer and unfortunately had adverse reaction to the drug, lost consciousness and went into respiratory arrest for forty long seconds.
The Spaniard was immediately ventilated and regained consciousness completely unaware of what had happened.
Due to complications Nieto had to undergo a second operation on his ankle and will probably skip not only the upcoming race at Misano but also the Aragon GP.
