Johann Zarco of Castrol Honda LCR is set to return at the Aragon GP, ahead of his original September target, after suffering left-knee ligament damage in a crash at the Catalan GP. Treated without surgery, he rebuilt race fitness on a supermoto and a CBR1000RR, and will return subject to passing the mandatory medical check at the circuit.

Damaged knee ligaments and back racing at Aragon without surgery — that's a seriously hard-driven rehab. Rebuilding race feel on a supermoto and a CBR1000RR is the proper method; I did the same in my racing days. Moving it up from September means his body is already there. I reckon he'll be eating into the midfield from race one.

Rehabbing on a supermoto — that mindset is pure racer.

Rushing back on knee ligaments risks worse. Good the medical check is mandatory.

From the Catalan GP crash, this recovery pace is honestly quite fast.

Back at Aragon without surgery — Zarco's toughness as ever.

Moved up from September? Sign he's genuinely ready.
