Marco Bezzecchi is returning at the German GP after a heavy crash at Assen. "I'm not 100%, I'm taking it session by session this weekend," he said. On the fear that can follow a big crash, he opened up: "If I'd been afraid, I wouldn't have crashed the way I did. Getting back on the bike is a positive thing for me."

How scary the first race back after a big crash really is, is something I understand all too painfully, having watched this sport up close. There's real strength in being able to honestly say 'I'm not at 100%.' A guy who can acknowledge his own fear and still call getting back on the bike positive is exactly the kind who can genuinely attack at corner entry. Take it one race at a time, don't push it.

'Taking it race by race' is usually the go-to excuse when someone's not in top form.

He himself says he's not 100%, so fighting for the top looks tough.

'If I were scared I wouldn't have crashed like that' — that comment gives me chills.

Isn't the comeback from that huge crash at Assen too fast? Hope he's not pushing it.
