Pablo and Gelete Nieto (sons of the legendary Angel Nieto) who used to manage the now defunct Grupo Francisco Hernandez-Onde 2000 MotoGP team with Sete Gibernau, are getting back into racing with the new Moto2 series and they’ve hired their cousin, Fonsi Nieto.

Nieto who didn’t find a regular team in World Superbikes for the 2009 season has been a free agent this year filling in for injured riders like Max Neukirkner in his former Alstare Suzuki team and Regis Laconi in DFX Corse and rumors had it that Nieto would be riding for Team Laglisse but the deal fell through.

The all Spanish team will be backed by Holiday Gym and the Nieto’s team mate will be the 21 year old Yannick Guerra who debuted this year Supersport.
