Aprilia's Marco Bezzecchi has opened up about a brutal two-month stretch that began with a Hungarian GP clash, taking in crashes at Brno and Assen and a hospitalizing injury at Sachsenring. Many things go through your mind and it's difficult to stop thinking, he admitted. Backed by family and his team, and finding focus the moment he puts his helmet on, he returned at the British GP with two podiums and climbed to second in the championship.

Overthinking after a bad stretch? I know that feeling from my own racing days — crash after crash and your head turns to mush. Bezzecchi's line about the helmet being like earplugs, that's the real deal. From corner entry to exit, you shut out the noise. Two podiums back is no fluke.

Two podiums to climb back to 2nd in the standings is a strong number.

Mental ups and downs like this go back to the Rossi era.

I really like how openly Bezzecchi talks about this.

Still, the injury streak makes me wonder if his physical prep was lacking.
