LCR Honda's Johann Zarco is aiming to return at the Aragon GP after tearing knee ligaments in a Barcelona crash. He has missed every round since Catalunya, opting against surgery and training on a supermoto and a Honda CBR1000RR as he recovered faster than expected. His final green light hinges on a medical review scheduled for Thursday.

Zarco's not the type to rush this. I've seen it in the pits too many times — come back on a knee ligament before it's ready and it ends your season in one corner. Switching from the supermoto to the CBR1000RR to rebuild feel was the right call. Clear Thursday's checkup and that throttle feeling comes right back at Aragon.

Going back to the supermoto first — riders will get why that matters.

Feels like too much LCR Honda favoritism, want more on other teams.

It's the knee ligament, right? Don't push it, mate.

If he's already retuned on the CBR1000RR, the numbers should back a safe return.

So happy Zarco's coming back!

Can you really come back that fast from a knee injury? Impressive.
