Schumacher fine after bike crash

8 hours ago
Seven-time Formula One world champion Michael Schumacher says he is "fine" after being involved in a motorbike accident in Spain on Wednesday.
Schumacher was taking part in a superbike testing session at a race track in Cartagena and fell off when he hit bumps while breaking into a corner. The 40-year-old was taken to the Virgen Arrixaca Hospital in Murcia, reportedly suffering from mild concussion and rib injuries.
But the Ferrari legend insists he was taken to hospital as a precaution and flew home in the evening and told his official website, www.michael-schumacher.de: "Today I had an accident at the biking tests in Cartagena, and to be safe I went to a hospital. I was driving down start-finish and when breaking into the first corner I hit some bumps which made me fall. The checks in the hospital showed nothing and I am fine, therefore I went back home at the evening."

This isn't the first time he's laid the CBR1000RR down. I really hope he doesn't hurt himself trying to make it in the Superbike scene. I do give him credit for trying though.

Previous crashes...

 

Oh crap. Man, after all that time risking his life for tons of money, why do it now for free?? I understand his passion but I think he is pushing his luck.

Isn't it funny how they always associate Schumi with Ferrari. People forget that he won 3 WDC for Benneton . . . .

 

Yeah he's too passionate to quit probably too passionate for his own good. He should stick to 4 wheels if you ask me 2 wheels doesn't seem to be his strong suit.

 

Lucky SOB

 

It's not like you can tell Schumi to just stop going fast after having it be a major part of his life for so long. Likely his playing around with bikes was something he's wanted to do for a good long while, but was prevented by contractual obligations from doing.

More power to him. If you don't put it down every so often (on the track), you're not going fast enough.

 

^^^ LOL, even Schumi can look like a scared biatch. That first step past the edge is a mother...

 

...crashing is part of riding.

 

Hilarious.

Ahh Schizer.

 

Maybe he should try supercross.
