(GMM) MotoGP dominator Valentino Rossi is apparently not tiring of his press feud with F1 counterpart Fernando Alonso.
The pair have been at loggerheads recently about whether Rossi, 26, would succeed if he ever switched to the four-wheeled race category.
Reigning champion Alonso, of Spain, turned down Rossi's challenge to go head-to-head in a motor racing showdown to settle the question of who is the quickest driver.
Italy's Rossi doubted Alonso's claim that his schedule is just too busy.
''Maybe Alonso has made some calculations and realised he would lose,'' he told Motorcycle News.
Rossi also reckons Alonso would be at least 12 seconds slower than him on a 260hp GP bike.
