Schumacher races, rejects 'second career'.

Former seven-time Formula One world champion Michael Schumacher has taken part in what his spokesperson described as his first 'official' motorcycle race, during a KTM Trophy round at Misano on Sunday.

Schumacher is just a professional racer that is addicted to adrenaline. I am sure he needs fast motorsports and the competition to feel alive.

His fireblade on the panonia-ring and this Superduke are surely competitive machines as well; Schumacher is a perfectionist and I guess he'd leave nothing to a hazard.

Good to see him having fun riding.

nice to see him turning to bikes and still being fast.

I gotta wonder how well he'll take to 'normal' biking (pain and suffering) when he's had a few crashes.

Why are some blessed with so much talent? Toseland's another one.

I wish Schumi would have a real go in MotoGP or Superbikes - the bloke never gave up in F1.

Love him or loathe him, MS is a legend in F1, and looks like a bloody good bike rider too. He knows you have to be nuts to race in a series like moto GP, no quater given, or asked there.

Michael Schumacher is probably riding as well as an "A-Grade" domestic racer.

To go faster is where the risks really start.

You do not get to the top of bike racing without accumulating scar tissue on a regular basis.

Simply the Greatest... He's not only superb fast on F1's, but on Bikes... a REAL all around racer.
I can't understand how people compares Hamilton with Schumi... most likely they know little about speed sports.

He is very old to compete but if he really wants to see racing again then probably he will add more shows than others!...



It is worth to watch him in any race series. If he was 10 years younger than now, he could be F1 champion again among the currents...

i strongly believe that the MS of 2000 would wipe the floor with the current crop, all other things being equal.

of course i'm not arguing that the current drivers are not good, but does anyone really believe that alonso would have beaten the MS of 2000? he had enough trouble in 2006 against a man who had nothing left to prove and visibly no longer drove with the same ferocity.

the truth is that when comparing such drivers we really are splitting hairs, but the cold hard statistics are difficult to refute.

Lets put together a few jigsaw puzzle pieces:

- Schumi trains like a man possessed and we only know what he wants us to know... He has most probably been training much more than that Valencia, Pannonia and Catalunya;

- Schumi is wearing a very odd orange leather suit all the time;

- Schumi seems to have very strong Austrian connections, as for instance with Mike Wohner, organizer of the PannoniaRing event, or IDM riders Martin Bauer and Andreas Meklau;

- Now he has ridden at Misano in the Trofeo KTM, and on the podium photos (yes he was there...while 4th...) one can see that his leathers are matching very well the KTM colours...

- KTM's SBK RC8 is ready

Daring conclusion anyone?

Michael knows what he is doing, i wish the media would stopsaying nasty comments about him, this is his first motorbike slip up. maybe he was under the weather that day its the same with his lad Michael warned the media not to take photos of his son and put articles about his debut in the go-kart the media took no notice, i wish the media will leave Michael and his family alone.The world would be a better place if people would mind there own business.I am happy that Michael is doing well since his retirement keep up the good work Michael,i am still going to stand by you.
