Alonso hints at Rossi exhibition duel
Ferrari driver Fernando Alonso has hinted at a possible exhibition competition with seven-time motorcycling World Champion Valentino Rossi.
Speaking at Ferrari's annual winter retreat in the Italian Dolomites, which also features Rossi's Ducati squad, Alonso said something is in the works for December, adding that the duel will likely be held on both "two- and four-wheel."
Rossi has completed informal tests with Ferrari over the past several years, and he also races rally cars occasionally. He is the most popular athlete in Italy, beating even the country's multitude of football stars.
Alonso says, "Valentino is loved all over the world, which is something very special - like another title."
