'Will I be able to walk again' -- the weight of that one line is something maybe only someone who knows the ground truly understands. We compete on speed, but behind it, we're always betting our bodies. I respect that Zarco spoke without hiding his tears. This kind of honesty, more than toughing it out, is the real courage.

Interviews like this probably have an element of honesty that's only possible once you're already back.

It really drives home how MotoGP is always a sport lived right alongside life-threatening risk.

Being able to show that kind of honest vulnerability is something only a rider with real experience can do.

That comment about being scared of whether he'd be able to walk really conveys how serious the crash was.
