Alex Marquez on His First Day Back in Brno After Injury: "Tired, but Better Than I Expected"

Being able to talk about real progress even while exhausted shows real mental strength — makes you want to root for him.

I saw the missed-race story in another article too, so this one's about the race he came back for — now the timeline makes sense.

This much confidence on the first day back — looks like we might get the brothers' showdown with Marc sooner than expected.

Without actual times or session standings in the article, it's hard to gauge just how much better than expected this really was.

Even with a good pace on Friday, whether his stamina holds through the whole weekend is still an open question.

'Tired, but better than expected' — a reassuring, positive comment for a first day back after injury.
