Shoulder surgery just a month ago, and he still threads it past Marquez on lap five like that — I can feel that throttle move in my own fingers. From what I've seen trackside, just holding the rear together on a leg that can't brace anymore is basically a miracle. Sunday's twenty laps are gonna hurt a lot more.

Riding through that pain just looks straight-up cool.

Gotta give him credit for that pass on Marquez at least.

That lap-five move was honestly a razor-thin gap.

Podium a month after surgery is just insane.

Kinda worried he's making it worse pushing through pain.
