On the track floor, I've raced through injuries myself, but knee and collarbone surgery just 28 days before a race? That's insane. Third in the sprint, third in the Grand Prix — I know exactly what it takes to push through pain from corner entry to exit. As an ex-pro, hats off, man.

Wait, a fracture heals in just 28 days? That's faster than I expected.

Racing isn't the same as being fully healed — braces and painkillers get riders back sooner even if full recovery takes months.

In my day a comeback like this after a fracture meant months out. Times have changed.

Glad to see the podiums, but knee and collarbone surgery just 28 days ago — genuinely worried his body isn't fully healed yet.

Get why you're worried, but he said himself he could go — guess we just trust him.

Podium twice just 28 days after knee and collarbone surgery — the guy's a monster.

Still 31 points behind though — Martín's been so strong I doubt he closes that gap.
