WSBK » Schumacher tests with Ten Kate Honda

Was never a fan of Schumi in F1 but to be 4 seconds off the pace is stunning!

Well done indeed.

4 seconds in his first test - blimey!!

Yes its a quick time, but i wonder how many laps he has done on the German superbike he's been racing this year.

Not forgeting the laps he did on the Ducati Gp bike.

Like i said, it is a quick time, but he's not exactly a novice anymore.

Rossi was 1 second off the pace in an F1 car.

Yes, Schumacher isn't a complete novice. He participated in some category of German racing, took lessons from Mamola, etc.

He could be labelled "novice motorcycle racer" but not novice track rider.

Does this guy live a charmed life or what?!

SO WHAT, theres plenty of club/cup riders out there who can match his time but you don't so them getting top publicity, and there on inferior machines!!!

Let Schumi enjoy himself on bikes. It brings more attention to our loved sport and hopefully more people would watch it and become fans.

this summer in Brno he did a 2.05 Laptime, no other driver could follow him during the week, but he has so much money and can do what he wants

Let's put Schumi's time into perspective. 4 seconds off the pace is absolutely amazing considering his first time out on this bike. Sure he has been riding/racing this season in club and German SuperBike races, however, he IS still a novice at racing not having spent years racing on two wheels. With more track time and guidance i'm sure his lap times would reduce even further. Hat off to Schumi i say.....
