Schumi prepares for endurance bike race with another spill

Michael Schumacher is at Oschersleben in Germany this weekend for an eight-hour endurance race, part of the FIM-sanctioned World Endurance Series.

According to reports from Germany, Schumacher has already fallen off once whilst practising for Saturday’s race, for which he will compete on a Honda for the Holzhauer Racing team.

What is that, like the 58th time he’s eaten tarmac this year? Seems like it.

Schumi continues motorbike obsession

Schumi, motorsport’s man for all seasons and machines, has teamed up with German helmet company Schuberth (no relation) to create the Schuberth MS RACE crash lid. It’s described as “an extremely aerodynamic and lightweight helmet, filled with numerous technical and safety innovations”.

Translation: It has lots of holes in it and it looks nice in black and orange.
