Michael Schumacher racing motorbikes

Read in Autocar that Michael is now racing motorbikes in a German motorbikes series.

Just wondering if I can watch it online somewhere?

Thanks

This is the German website for the championship but I don't know if they have any video footage

If you want to see MS on a bike, he rode Casey Stoners Moto GP bike late last year and was apparently only 5 seconds of the pace

True but still a respectful time for someone who was not that experienced on a full on racing motorcycle. Having said that when Valentino Rossi tested Ferrari's F1 car in 2005, he was only 3 seconds off Michael Schumacher's lap record at the Fiorano test circuit.
