Schumacher to MotoGP

Couldn't agree more.

I feel sorry for the lads who try their guts out year after year looking for this sort of opportunity... along comes joni cum fuckwit and he gets to guest ride in three GPs. Not on at all.

Bayliss wild card Valencia for the win!

Very last race of the season and he was contracted to that factory. Different scenario.

www.mcnews.com.au should really do a bit of research before posting that thread up, its a hoax printed in a Spanish paper for a bit of a laugh! Aint going to happen, folks .....

This story was originally posted on the Spanish website DailyMotos.com on December 28th, also known in Spain as "el Dia de los Santos Innocentes", the Day of the Innocent Saints. On this day, it is usual for Spaniards to play tricks on each other, and for the media to try and pass off fake stories as news, as a joke. In other words, this story looks like being the Spanish version of April Fools...

Ah, Isee the detractors are at it again...

100% skill 0% sportsmanship.

Sportsmanship in professional sport is a romantic fallacy. Professional sportsmen are paid to win. Sportsmanship is for school yards and social leagues.

Would like to see Heinz Harold Frentzen on a GP sickle. Damn that dude goes hard out.....then crashes

[R6_kid:Me]

I read in KR that he was only 5 seconds a lap off the top times - but add it up, first bike over the line after 1 lap then....
one thousand and one, one thousand and two, one thousand and three, one thousand and four, one thousand and five ... here he comes
fast but not realistic - multiply that across 21 laps or so - that's over a minute off the pace.

He was using the 'wet' discs, not the carbon ones that they use in dry conditions so he wasnt getting full braking potential out of the bike. This would mean he could almost half that 5 second gap with the proper brake setup and a bit more practice - that would have him 2.5s off the LAP RECORD set by Dani Pedrosa which is what his time was reported as - that in my books is fast enough to beat a fair bit of the motoGP field from last year, he wouldnt be winning but he'd be in there earning points.

What a load of total rubbish this thread is.....

There is no way on the planet that it would EVER happen....it was a wind up and i can't believe someone was daft enough to believe it and post it here in seriousness.................

Yes he rode the bike but these days 5 secs at a track like that in question is quite a margin.

Its an accepted fact that the German cheated his way to the F1 title the year he drove Hill off the track. Numerous programs have commented on it and the on board and trackside footage shows Schumacher look to the side, see Hill and then turn the steering sharply towards Hill's car causing the collision that ended Hills chances and gave Schumacher the title.

Has his day and his come-upance (can't spell). At the end of the day if he qualifies then he should be allowed to ride, if not then no. The minute he knocks anothe rider off then it ia fair game and he will probably end up with a black eye!!

Let's give him a chance and then judge him, his riding and behaviour.

Bollocks, he was 5 seconds (allegedly ) off the pace, he wouldn't have been going fast enough to be able to generate enough heat in the carbon brakes, hence he would have been slower with the carbons, not 2.5 seconds faster!

Well that's disappointing. Would've loved to have seen that.

Bet Damon Hill is behind it somehow

good one.

Remember he will purposefully crash and take someone out of the race to win at all costs.

I think the fact he'd be on a bike and could hurt would stop that happening

Ahhh, I remember when Aryton had his crash. The day after the reports and quotes came thick and fast, 'greatest driver ever', 'a true hero', 'a gentleman' etc etc etc. Yet the day before he was public enemy number one.

People suck.
