    Schumacer to race a Super Duke, qualifies third

    stuff.co.nz article link here.

    I love the man's slightly unconvincing humility. I can just see him grinning slightly as he utters all those disclaimers about it being impossible for him to win.

    He's no spring chicken, but I wonder how far he'll go in the two-wheeled racing scene?

    Edit: Goddammit, misspelt his name in the thread title, if a mod wants to fix it, be my guest...
    kiwibiker is full of love, an disrespect.

    He's good on 2 wheels.

    At a test session at Valencia, I think it was, he was lapping 3 secs off the lap record on Casey Stoners Ducati - impressive, by any measure! Apparently they ( the Ducati race team), were all impressed by his corner entry speeds.

    At a recent superbike race in Germany, he came in third, being beaten only by the current German champions.

    Apparently he's really taking to bike racing, in his retirement, having a Desmocedici and a 1098R, set up for track days, at least.


    Wait 'til he has his first big off, then see how keen he is...........
    “- He felt that his whole life was some kind of dream and he sometimes wondered whose it was and whether they were enjoying it.”

    Guys like him make me realise what a waste of skin I am.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?
