A female friend that grew up in Spain, with no real interest in cycles or racing, knew who Nieto was. Surprised me. She also knew Derbi.
He must have been a national hero. Goes to show how much more interest there is in motorsports in Europe.
In the U.S., names of World Champions like Roberts, Rainey, Lawson, Spencer, Hayden, etc. are unknown by most - even those that ride.
