Johann Zarco is targeting a return at Aragon after suffering extensive left knee ligament damage at Catalunya in May, when his leg became tangled in Pecco Bagnaia's rear wheel. Surgery was expected but ultimately ruled unnecessary. "Aragon is actually coming at the perfect time," he said, pending a Thursday medical check, with Cal Crutchlow on standby.

He tore up his left knee ligaments extensively and he's talking about going back to a 300km/h world barely three months later — while still carrying a double long-lap penalty from the Catalunya incident. As far as I'm concerned there's only one reason you push that hard. He knows you ride while you still can.

About three months since Catalunya in May, and it all hinges on Thursday's medical check.

Returning while still carrying a double long-lap penalty. Hard to expect much from the result.

"Aragon is coming at the perfect time" — that phrasing is very Zarco.

With Crutchlow on standby, it's clear the team is keeping a cool head about this.

Extensive ligament damage and back in three months. I genuinely worry that's too soon.

Surgery was ruled unnecessary, so it's not really for outsiders to panic about.
