Schumi fine after test crash

SEVILLE: Retired Formula One world champion Michael Schuma­cher escaped unhurt from a motorcycle crash in Spain on Wednesday.

“Today I had an accident at the biking tests in Cartagena, and to be safe I went to a hospital,” the seven-time world champion said on his official website.

“The checks showed nothing and I just wanted to say that I am fine,” added the German, who won five of his titles with Ferrari and retired in 2006 after winning a record 91 Grands Prix.

Schumacher’s spokeswoman said the 40-year-old had been testing with his German Superbike team at the Cartagena circuit since Monday. — Reuters
