MOTOGP » Schumacher back on a MotoGP bike!

Chu Chu.....I said most people not all and he is the one having a go at another rider

Schumi is too tall,too big and too heavy anyway !!!

This may be a publicity stunt, but it's a dam good one!. Shumi is really enjoying his motorbiking, Ducati are only going to let a competent rider loose on one their GP bikes. Lucky bugger!

Duke@ee - you mean YOUR rider come on mate, you are a reasonable guy, you just happen to root for the wrong rider (just kidding!!)
I agree with you on the Ferrari - Ducati relation. But believe me Ducati will jump at any good PR stunt they can get (why wouldn't they, it's good busines)
Having said that I think we can agree that this was PR and nothing else (must have been a slow news day for Crash...)

zostje - Shumi is actually only 5'-7" tall and very slim. This is brilliant PR, the guy is a pure racing genius and the attention he is bringing to MotoGP is much welcomed.

Peter99.....Careful what you say, them are fighting words

I agree with you, I was just stating they dont need the PR. I still think it all came about as a offer and the rest followed. I guess we will have to wait and see in Ducatis advertising if the they use Schumacher or not.
Must admit he was pretty quick, but I guess he goes fast on or in anything red

I reckon Schui would be on the pace given a crack on the Yamaha....
Would be a good P/R move to consider him for rossi's replacement in 09 its all about the ratings and advertisng $$ afterall

#46 for Shui - 09

I heard it on the grapevine that the duke engineers had him in for a two hour brake down apparently they're desperate for some development ideas, it's ok casey winning but the rest might as well be used as pitbikes. Hopefully Shuy can lead them in the right direction. I hope so...

ps I also think that Shuy would be quick on the yamaha it reacts more like a normal motorcycle... but replace Rossi, that's like Stoner replacing Rikkonen guess your just a bit thick...

For the record I am a Rossi Fan.But that does not mean I have to ride a Yamaha. I would not buy a 4 stroke yamaha. 2 stroke yamaha maybe. I did buy and ride a Honda. Would use bridgestone if they were available and to my liking. Just because you ride a Ducati does not mean you have to be a fan of CS.Just because you are an Aussie does not mean you have to be a Fan of CS/Doohan. Personality is important. Agostini's exact words " Rossi is not finished yet" I think Rossi will surpass Agostini's win records. Agostini has good words about Rossi. Only an idiot will call Rossi a clown constantly and consistently without feeling shame. His achievements will be carved on stone. CS is yet to carve it

For the ignorants. here is the link to Agostini words. Rossi is the second most successful italian world champions MotoGp reign of dominance of all times.
