Johann Zarco, who suffered a severe left knee injury when it was trapped under a Ducati during the Barcelona GP restart on May 17, has completed a test on a production motorcycle at a circuit in Andorra nearly three months later. He opted against surgery in favor of conservative treatment, targeting a return at the Aragon GP, with doctors recommending San Marino GP instead.

Choosing conservative treatment over surgery was a real-world call to avoid writing off the whole season. Getting back on a production bike after three months and immediately setting Aragon as the target — a racer's recovery seems to come back together with the feel in the fingertips. Still, I hope he takes it easy through to that San Marino target the doctors recommended.

If he pushes back too soon and re-injures it, this was all for nothing.
