It's a wild rumour but I love the thought of it.

Definately would be interesting but hardly believable.

I love it! Kinda back-asswards as far as history goes, but very cool and what a great endorsment for motorcycle road racing.Will he be competitive, most probably not but now I'll surely upgrade my Dish Network subscription just to see it "live"! :clapping:

P.S..... OK, his head does sorta look "photo shopped" atop his leathers, but I'm gonna go with it just the same!

 

[airboss]

Na aw! I'd love to see it though.

 

[MrTwisty]

I'd love to see it too, but he'd get SMOKED!

 

[Randy]

I wouldn't bet on it happening.

That sadly is how his head does look. The picture was taken at a Ducati test at the end of last season where Shumacher was only 5 seconds off the lap record on Stoners bike.

This was him during the test

Yeah, he was 5 seconds a lap off Stoners pace. KRJR wouldn't race when he was 2-3 seconds off pace & he's a former world champion. Multiply that by the typical 25 or so laps & Schumacher wouldn't be competitive. Not to say he doesn't have talent but riding MotoGP bikes is a full time job & I don't see him riding around to finish last.

Nor me, but we have to consider that it was his first time on one of those monsters, I doubt if I could have managed a lap on one first time out......anyway....stop spoiling my fantasy :lol:

Oh and that was 5 seconds off the lap record, not race pace. I know that records are set during races but not by everyone every lap.

I say "crap"
