Let's not forget age and weight. Generaly speaking, young guys always go faster than older guys. I think Vale is quite a bit lighter than the Schu too, at this stage in their lives. Also, everyone drives four wheelers. Vale is going to have more experience on four wheels than Schu will on two. In the end, comparisons across generations never are fair. Throw in different machines and it becomes a bit of a joke. Still, Michael wins cars and Vale wins bikes. But they are both motoring geniuses and could probably do equally well on either machine if they started young.
