He's at it again this weekend at Misano

FORMER F1 World Champion Michael Schumacher seems to have been bitten by the mototrcycle racing bug, as the talented German is to race at Misano, Italy, this coming Sunday.

Schumi, 39, is to race a 990cc KTM SuperDuke in a low-key event at Misano circuit on Italy's Adriatic coast.

"Here it will be impossible to win, there are real and well-prepared riders, practically professional. I will just be happy to qualify," the ex-Ferrari driver told Saturday's Gazzetta dello Sport newspaper.

Schumacher has already been gaining track experience by riding Casey Stoner's Desmosedici MotoGP bike, as well as scoring a podium finish on a Honda Fireblade.

"This is just for enjoyment, no one is obliging me to do it. Maybe I will stop here," said Schumacher.

Sources say the German has been getting set-up tips from ex-500cc Grand Prix racer, Randy Mamola.
