LCR Honda's Johann Zarco will not undergo surgery on the left knee injury he sustained at the Catalan GP, his team has announced. Rehabilitation is progressing well, and he is planning to return after the summer break. Zarco saw a specialist in Lyon on July 1.
For a rider, the knee is basically a lifeline. From corner entry to exit, weight transfer starts right at the knee. Avoiding surgery and targeting September is cautious, but it's the right call. Rush the comeback and reinjure it, and that's what really shortens a career. Take the time to get it right before coming back.

While Zarco's out, curious how LCR fills in the points gap.
Which specific race does the post-summer-break stretch actually start with?
Looking at the calendar, the first race back after the summer break should land somewhere around late August.
He's been riding well for LCR Honda this season, so it's good news if the time out ends up being short.
Even with a September return target, riders often end up rushing back early, so that's a bit worrying.
He's actually seeing specialists in Lyon, so it seems like a setup built to prevent a rushed comeback.
At least avoiding surgery is something - guess Zarco's left knee wasn't as bad as feared.
