Could Schuey cut it in WSB

[cider_and_toast]

Rumours abound on TV yesterday that on the back of a few bike races in the German Championship this season Honda would be open to offering Michael Schumacher a seat in their World Superbike Team for next season. (Source Ceefax). Now I'm sure that it's a good bit of PR for Honda and nothing will come of it but the question is if Schuey did then would he cut the mustard ??

Also if and it's a huge IF Schuey did win the WSB title would that be the same as John Surtees's win or would Schuey have to win in Moto GP for it to count.

I open the floor......

No he couldn't. Not a chance.

Maybe when he was still racing competitively and a bit younger then he might have been able to make the switch.

However, now that he's been out of it for a while and is reaching the age where most drivers start to slow down due to reaction times, etc. then I doubt he will be able to make much of an impression.

It will be interesting however to see his times if he does any testing with them.

Sounds like he hasn't performed that well so far so I guess that it's just Honda flying a kite and looking to get a bit of press exposure.
