SouperPoll :: If The Schu Fits...

7 time F1 champ Michael Schumacher tested the Ducati MotoGP bike this week at Valencia. Incredibly, Schumacher's best lap was 1:37, only about three seconds from a competitive top ten lap time. This after Andrea Dovizioso said riding a MotoGP bike is easier than riding his 250.

What does this mean?

That thanks to the 800cc engine, traction control and engine management, almost anyone can go fast on a MotoGP bike today.

That a great driver like Schui' is going to go fast on anything, be it a shopping cart, rental car or MotoGP bike.

That the powers in MotoGP should be doing all in their power remove electronics from the bikes.

That we should keep a keen eye out for the Four Horseman of the Apocalypse. This is not just bad, it's Old Testament bad: Rivers of fire! Children born with hooves! Lakes boiling! The AMA magazine!
