'Progress by little steps' for MotoGP team owner Gresini

The latest update on the condition of MotoGP team boss Fausto Gresini describes continued progress, 'albeit by little steps'.

The 59-old Italian, who contracted Covid in late December, remains on a ventilator in the intensive care unit of the Maggiore Carlo Alberto Pizzardi hospital in Bologna, where he has been since December 30.

Doctor Nicola Cilloni said: "Fausto Gresini's general clinical conditions are stable, but still linked to the persistence of respiratory insufficiency that binds him to respiratory support. He is awake, very cooperative and can do physiotherapy. The disease puts him to the test, but his willpower is always unmatched.”
