Retired Formula One driver Michael Schumacher has taken part in a bike all-star track day at the Paul Ricard circuit in France.
In a Monster Energy sponsored meet-up, Schumacher rode alongside motorcycle legends John McGuimness, Randy Mamola and rising Moto2 star Pol Espargaro.
“Coming here today I felt so proud to be able to turn my hand at riding a bike with guys I really admire,” said Schumacher.
“I can’t begin to explain how much fun it was to ride the track with the likes of John, Randy, Keith [Flint] and watching Pol Espargaro’s huge talent.”
Schumacher turned to motorcycle racing during his initial F1 retirement although an accident forced him to abandon plans to replace Felipe Massa in 2009 due to a neck injury.
McGuinness also expressed his surprise at Schumacher’s speed on a bike.
“I wasn’t expecting him to be anything less, but he’s fast! You can see his enthusiasm for motorcycles and it was a massive pleasure to spend the day with him”, said McGuinness, who has claimed 19 wins at the Isle of Man TT.
 
Very serious, never heard of the guy before.

Legends: Roberts, D'Agostini, Sheen, Hailwood, Spencer, Schwantz, Lawson, Rainey, Rossi etc but this guy no sorry doesn't ring a bell.
 
Not a fan of the Isle of Man TT eh ? :p
Instead of posting trolling pictures you could have also explained that in your previous post.

We don't get so much about the Man TT here anymore on TV. So for me the passion of TT racing stopped after the Joey Dunlop era. But yeah a 19 time winner, than you have big balls and are indeed a (TT) legend.

I hope for Shueys physical condition that he will not be getting into that form of motorracing really. At some point in your career you run out of luck.

Well, I had assumed you read the last part of the news :p

It is indeed getting pretty difficult to watch the race... I used to be able to watch very detailed highlights a few years back (8 years ?), at the same time one could actually watch full WRC coverage... :(

If he really wants to commit to it, then he shall be my guest.... He might want to practice on easier "open roads" events beforehand though !
 
Didn't his doctor say a few years back after his motorbike crash that if a similar crash happens in the future it would be fatal for his neck?

Then again, if he will become an occasional autosport racer there is always the risk on fatal injuries as well.
