Schu walks away unhurt from bike crash

Michael Schumacher walked away unhurt after crashing his Honda motorbike at the Lausitzring circuit in Germany on Monday.

The seven-time F1 World Champion was testing a Honda Fireblade CBR 1000 when, mid-way through the afternoon, he lost control at Turn 7.

Thankfully he was only doing 80 km/h through the slow corner and didn't suffer any injuries as a result of his off.

"The front wheel slipped away from me," he told the Bild. "This is actually nothing unusual and happens all the time."

Schumi will switch back to four wheels on Wednesday when he tests for Ferrari at the Barcelona circuit.

The 39-year-old has called up to help Ferrari adapt to Bridgestone's slick tyres, which will be used in next year's Championship.
