MotoGP rider Johann Zarco will return to racing early at the Aragon GP, ahead of his originally planned San Marino comeback on September 11, after his injured left knee recovered faster than expected. He tested on a Honda CBR1000RR at a facility in the Cevennes, saying he's "still fast, just in a different way." Final medical clearance is expected on Thursday.

I've been through plenty of comeback races myself, so I get it. "Still fast, just in a different way" with a knee that won't fully bend — that's not an excuse, that's him rebuilding his form on that CBR. Watch how hard he can push through Aragon's downhill corners.

LCR must run deep, no scrambling for a stand-in rider.

Testing on the CBR1000RR is plenty to gather real data.

Doesn't testing hurt his knee? Kind of worried for him.

Isn't rushing it risky? What if Thursday's clearance doesn't come through?

The team's clearly being careful, they already checked it on the CBR.
