Yes, its true. Last week Michael took part in a SUPERBIKE race in Pannonia, Hungary. To avoid being 'high profile' at a comparative low profile event - Michael elected to start last on the grid on a Honda Fireblade - 2008 model.
He got up to third position of the 27 strong field and was only beaten by two top line riders, the winner being the current German super bike champion Martin Bauer, and former World Superbike rider Andreas Meklau who also competes in the German Superbikes. Again, not wishing to distract attention from the race winner, he declined to actually appear on the podium.
He is expected to ride the same bike in a more high profile event at Oschersleben in early May.
Good lad Michael.
