Weber not worried about Schumacher's bike races

Michael Schumacher's manager Willi Weber has said he is not worried about the risks that come along with racing motorcycles. Schumacher's former team boss Jean Todt said he wasn't too excited to see Ferrari's advisor race bikes as it is a dangerous hobby.

Speaking with Germany's Bild newspaper Weber said: "I am not worried about Michael (Schumacher). He always knows what he is doing and the risks he is taking. It is just like racing in Formula 1. Anything can go wrong really but he will leave nothing to chance I'm sure."

Schumacher completed in two motorcycle races so far this year and finished third a week ago.
