Seven-time Formula One world champion Michael Schumacher suffered minor injuries in a motorbike accident in Spain on Wednesday.

According to reports, Schumacher was testing his Honda 1000 CBR-Fireblade at a racetrack in Cartagena when the accident happened and was taken to hospital.
"Today I had an accident at the biking tests in Cartagena, and to be safe I went to a hospital," the seven times world champion said on his official website.
"The checks showed nothing and I just wanted to say that I am fine."
The doctors diagnosed a mild concussion, while Schumacher himself complained of pain in his right wrist, according to a report in Cologne's Express newspaper.
His team boss Jens Holzhauer told the paper: "This was not as bad as it sounds. It was a harmless slip and a quite normal training fall. He will still fly home this evening."
A spokesman for the Virgen de Arrixaca Hospital in the nearby city of Murcia confirmed he had been taken to the hospital but was not able to provide information regarding the extend of his injuries.

The news article says and I quote:

'His team boss Jens Holzhauer told the paper: "This was not as bad as it sounds. It was a harmless slip and a quite normal training fall."'

Going by the above, it just seems he sorely missed two extra wheels! Anyhow, everything is well that ends well.

LOLZ! I can imagine... he puling a corner.... and looks around to see "Holy cow, where are the other two wheel... I am going to fast "
Wasnt there a HUGE article about Christiano crashing his GT sometime back..? Strictly in the above sense, I wonder what he tried... chipping or curving the gas pedal...

Id read that he was testing for Tenkate Hanspree Honda. Not sure if he's competing though.

As for all you skeptics (Primarily Sunny and Dada ), he's supposed to be pretty quick on the 'Blade
