Avoiding surgery is genuinely good news. If he can skip going under the knife on that knee, his movement after the return is completely different. Zarco's a veteran, but that fighting spirit hasn't dulled one bit. If he's back in September, the closing stretch of the season just got a lot more interesting. Don't want him to push it, but honestly, I just want to see him ride like that again.

In what kind of cases do they go with treating it without surgery?

Having a clear target for returning from injury is a relief for us fans cheering him on too.

I'm genuinely looking forward to Zarco coming back.

Would like more concrete information on exactly how severe the knee injury actually was.

Even with a September target, the actual return often ends up later than planned.

Still, the moment surgery wasn't needed, I think the worst-case scenario was already avoided.

Avoiding surgery is the single best piece of news for his recovery.
