Michael Schumacher, the huge F1 champion, was invited by Ten Kate to try Checa's bike at Magny-Cours.

The German who been racing bikes in Germany since his retirement was delighted with the experience.

He's not a World Championship quality rider, but he is very good for a rookie.

I don't like Schumacher, but at least he's showing that 4wheeled racer can ride one 2wheels too.

Not a fan either. We need more riders with a bit of "personality" about them. He's probably gonna be quite good, but I just feel "and?"

He is going to bring fans. Schumacher has tens of millions of fans. They will come to the races.

I doubt Michael would take a factory ride. He knows that would be pointless for him, as even he knows there are other great riders that would take that spot. Michael is not a greedy ....... many haters of him think he is.

He was riding with Jeremy Mcwilliams somewhere and jeremy said Michaels biggest problem is he pushes the front too hard on cold tyres like he did with a car but on a bike that means more often than not youll just lowside.

He will bring a lot of F1 fans to watch WSBK and that's good. He don't has to win as his crash pic alone can sell..
