Juan Matute Guimon Makes Minor Progress, Tremendous Outpour of Support

Spanish team rider Juan Matute Guimon has made a small step of progress after being airlifted to a hospital in Madrid for brain bleeding on Tuesday 5 May.

On Wednesday a CT Scan was taken of Juan's brain followed by a three-hour operation for the doctors to find the source of the bleeding and stop it. Unfortunately it turned out to be located in a difficult position and the operation did not have the hoped for success. Juan (22) remained in critical condition.

However, by the evening the doctors were finally able to stop the bleeding in Juan's brain.

A second surgery today, 7 May, is being considered.

Juan tested negative to Covid-19.
