It had to happen !! Spanish Formula One Champion, Fernando Alonso made the mistake in a BBC interview to say that given some time he could be as fast as Valentino Rossi on a motorcycle, as Rossi was in a F1 car. Big mistake !!!
So that’s like putting a red flag in front of a bull. Rossi wants to have a duel, based on a F1 car race, World Rally car race and MotoGP race. Then they’d add up the times, and we’d know who would really be the fastest. Alonso would have an advantage since two out of three trials are on 4 wheels.
“I read that if Alonso is able to make some practice then he can put a MotoGP bike on the podium with me,” said the 27-year-old Italian. “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.”
This would be one really nice duel. My money is on Rossi !!!
