Seven-time Formula One champion Michael Schumacher is set to race in the German International Motorcycle Championship in Oschersleben.

Schumacher, who had been testing with Italian manufacturer Ducati, rode a Honda to the 23rd quickest time during Saturday's practice session for the superbike race on Sunday.

The 39-year-old had originally been entered under an assumed name but was forced to use his real name for insurance reasons.
