The conditions of Fausto Gresini, the founder and manager of the team that bears his name and who currently rides with Aprilia in MotoGP, improve, while remaining serious.
Hospitalized for Covid-19 at the Maggiore hospital in Bologna, he is no longer in a pharmacological coma.
He is conscious, but remains sedated to tolerate mechanical ventilation.
It is the same team that provides a bulletin on the situation of Gresini, 59, issuing a statement from the ward doctor, Nicola Cilloni: "Fausto Gresini's clinical condition is still characterized by severe respiratory insufficiency. The tests performed have revealed that the interstitial pneumonia is still present and makes it necessary to maintain mechanical ventilation and moderate sedation. This allows to maintain sufficient oxygen in the blood. "
