World Championships; besides scoring numerous Spanish National Championships in the 50 cc, 125 cc, 250 cc, 500 cc and 750 cc classes. He is considered a national hero in his Spanish homeland.
Many fellow racers, including Barry Sheene, consider him among the greatest motorcycle racers of all time. He retired in 1986. His total of 90 Grand Prix victories is second only to the 122 by Giacomo Agostini.
Later he operated a Grand Prix motorcycle racing team with his son, Angel Nieto Jr. and Emilio Alzamora, who won the 125 cc title, as riders. Now he comentates GP races for Spanish TV. His nephew Fonsi Nieto is also a racer, in World Superbikes in 2006. There is an Angel Nieto museum in
Madrid
that displays some of his trophies and racing memorabilia. The FIM named him a Grand Prix "Legend" in 2000.
