Schumacher wins bike race in Hungary



After testing a Ducati MotoGP bike last year in Valencia, seven times world champion Michael Schumacher again proved he was almost as fast on two wheels as he was on four, when he finished third and then first a seris of bike races, held at the Hungarian track of Pannonia-Ring on Thursday.

Although the majority of the 27 bikers who entered the 10-lap race were enthusiastic amateurs, 39-year old Schumacher has faced some tough competition, as his teammate at the Holzhauer Racing Promotion team was none other than 2007 IDM (Internationale Deutsche Motorradmeisterschaft) Superbike Champion Martin Bauer. An other IDM rider, Andy Meklau, was also on the grid.

Schumacher, appaerantly competing just for fun, and wearing his orange overalls and black helmet familiar from the Ducati tests, arrived at the Pannonia-Ring, a 4,740 metres long track near the Hungarian village of Ostffyasszonyfa, late afternoon on Wednesday.

He then completed only a handful of laps, but went on to claim pole position for the race on Thursday, although it has to be noted that the bikes of the professional IDM riders didn't have timing transponders in them during the event, and they were relegated to the back of the grid anyway.

Instead of starting from pole, Schumacher - riding an 1000 ccm Honda Superbike - decided to join them in the last row, but then made his way up the field to finish third behind fellow Honda-racer Bauer and Meklau, who was on a Suzuki. All three competed in the 600+ ccm cathegory.

Schumacher's best lap of 2:01.309 was about six seconds slower compared to what his professional rivals were capable of, but was still 0.6 seconds quicker than anyone else could manage in the course of the race.

Although Schumacher's presence was mostly unexpected, some 250-300 people has still turned up to watch the race. But they were left a bit disappointed when their hero, shying away from making a public appearance, decided not to attend the podium ceremony.

 Para flipar...

 No, si está claro que quién lleva gasolina en las venas la lleva en coche y en moto...

 Pues nada, que me quito el sombrero ante "Chumi"...

Como siga asi le quita el puesto a Melandri

 

Pués a ver si es verdad porque a Malandri no se le vé el casco...
