Newsletter 276: Farewell, championAugust 4th, 2017
In his laurel and glory days, the name of Ángel Nieto made all Spaniards realize that we could be champions beyond our borders. He was a pioneer in bringing the name of Spain to the top of the worldwide racing: with him, the dream of Spanish athletes touching the skies nowadays began.
After thrilling many of us riding his bike, he got off but never left the arena. As a motorcycle world championship sportscaster, he taught to a few generations of us how to love this sport as he did.
A true legend left us, and at SpotModel we didn't want to miss the chance of saying goodbye.
Farewell, dear Ángel.
