  • Schumacher back on two wheels

    WITH HOT rumours circulating the F1 paddock that he'll be gone from Mercedes before the end of the year, former F1 giant Michael Schumacher has returned to two wheels to test a couple of superbikes at the Sachsenring

    It's reported the 41-year-old tested KTM and Honda racing bikes after flying out to the track in his personal jet.

    Schumacher, who competed in several rounds of last year's IDM German superbike championship, aborted his planned motorcycle racing career after suffering serious neck injuries while testing at Cartegena racetrack, Spain.

    The German was warned by many close friends, including multiple 500cc World Champion Mick Doohan and current F1 sensation Mark Webber, that a career in motorcycle racing at 41 was not a good idea.

      +1 i second that... Although he is a good racer a two wheel career at the age of 41 is not a good idea... Lets see what he has in his arsenal for the 2 wheels...

        I will be really surprising if he moves out of F1 before 2011 season.
        Schumi had himself said that he is back for lon-term, i.e. atleast 3 years.

        Waiting to hear something on this officially.

        My views on the YZF-R15 V2.0: http://www.xbhp.com/talkies/news/198...tml#post699240

        The pleasure is when your rear wheel slides, and you bring it back; and when the front wheel lifts, you take your time bringing it back.
