Schumi Debuts in German Superbike Championship.
Well after all the rumours and speculation, Formula One legend Michael Schumacher indeed made his debut in the German Superbike series. Somewhat of a mixed weekend for the 37 year old and his Honda CBR1000RR. After qualifying 39th fastest he finished race one in 28th at the flag posting times just 3 seconds of the pace of teamate and race winner Martin Bauer. Unfortunately, race two saw Schumi crash out while working his way through the pack.
Schumacher gets a taste of the German tarmac
There has been quite a lot of talk about why Schumacher has chosen to take up bike racing. Even Bernie Ecclestone has commented in the press hinting that it is not really a good idea. However, hats of to him and we’ll certainly be watching his exploits here at Gadget Freaks.
I see he raced under the pseudonym “Marcel Niederhausen”. The ‘Deustche Vermogensberatung” ad on the side of the bike is a hint though!

Hey can you can tell me had Schumacher been injured in that race or just slipped.
