Rossi challenges Alonso!
Posted: 16 Mar 06 10:49 PM (N/A)

From crash.net :

 

MotoGP World Champion Valentino Rossi has challenged Formula One World Champion Fernando Alonso to a head-to-head battle, in three different types of motorsport, to prove who is fastest.

Rossi's challenge came in response to Alonso's claim that "Rossi might finish fifth or even get on the podium (in F1) but I could do the same in bikes if I was given enough time to practice."

Renault driver Alonso, the winner of last weekend's season opening Bahrain Grand Prix, has also previously claimed that the Italian's high profile Ferrari tests have hurt the team's 2006 preparations.

"I'm glad that Rossi has tested with Ferrari because that means they have lost valuable time preparing the cars for the show they put on," said the 24-year-old. "Let him come and drive. It will be good because there will be more media attention."

However, Rossi has now struck back in style - telling Alonso that, if the Spaniard really thinks he can get on the podium in MotoGP, then they should race each other on both two and four wheels to prove who is the ultimate motor-sportsman.

"I read that if Alonso is able to make some practice then he can put a MotoGP bike on the podium with me," Rossi, a five times MotoGP World Champion, told Motorcycle News. "Well, I think we should drive a Formula One car, a World Rally car and a MotoGP bike, add the times together and then we will see who is the fastest."

As well as his tests for Ferrari, and his renowned two wheeled skills, Rossi has also shown impressive pace in a Subaru WRC car, a world championship spec go-kart and a Maserati sports car - all in the last four months.

Hey, DOCTOR`! Forget the crap - pass this challenge on to SCUMMI ! Let's see if he is man enough to take it !

I bet Scummi is a complete ZERO on two wheels compared to Valentino on four wheels !

Wonder what the BetAndWin odds would be on this one ?


I have NOT lost my mind — I have it backed up on tape somewhere.

WHOOOHOOO  wow that would be a  fantastic little bet that one wouldnt it ...but Freddie..Im REALLY suprised with you   dont you know that Alonso  IS the hot bet now and  Scummi is just a  'has been ' now  LOL

Hmm F1  MAYBE Alonso would beat Valentino but not by TOO much -  come to  bikes - Valentino would  wipe the floor with him...its whatever the  third series would be that would be the  answer to that....BUT who knows - if Valentino is not happy with Yamaha this year he might just decide ok  ..Ive  done all I can now in MotoGP and THEN make the move to F1 - both guys on track - WOW that would  be  worth seeing....and  poor Scummi just  watching the  two 'youngsters ' fading into the  distance...with  Buttplug in his mirrors  LOL

I know that Alonso would be the bigger challenge to Valentino but I would like the whole world to see what a piece of old (s)crap Scummi is now !

In particular, I would like Scummi to see what a piece of old (s)crap Scummi is now ! !!!!!

Would be good to see the 3 of them pitted against each other at the same time & see what the outcome would be. & preferably Schumi getting beat!!!

Ahh very  true Amanda...  I  know that Scummi is supposed to be  deciding  this summer what hes going to do....and If he was in a race off between Alonso and Rossi...then  he wouldnt have to wait till Summer to decide...  Hes had his day ...  YES  hes done some simply amazing drives - I wont take that away from him  BUT all good things come to an end ( or in most of our cases we are EVENTUALLY put out of our misery) and its time to call it a day
