Schumacher Races Bikes Under False Name

imageMichael Schumacher is reported to be racing in the Internationalen Deutschen Motorradmeisterschaft (IDM) der Superbikes under a false name according to the German publication 'BILD'.  The race is due to be held at Motorsport Arena Oschersleben on the weekend of 16th to 18th May 2008.

So are all the predictions coming true that Schumi can't resist the lure of motorcycle racing or is he just enjoying putting himself to the test?

It's also interesting to see that Nina Prinz, an official Yamaha rider and women's world champion is also taking part in the race.
