He also raced in World Superbikes in 2005 to 2009 before returning to GP racing in the new Moto2 class.
In 2010, a qualifying crash at the Indianapolis GP left him with broken left foot that required three surgeries and a brush with death when he went into respiratory arrest following an adverse reaction to painkillers, however Nieto was able to return to racing a little more than three weeks later to finish the championship 18th in the standings.

It is believed that a press conference will be held on Monday to announce Nieto’s retirement and the reasons behind the decision, and if the G22 team has found a replacement to line-up next to Raffaele de Rosa for the Moto2 tests that kick off tomorrow at the Catalunya circuit.
