No Rossi vs Alonso at Vrooom?

The long awaited racing battle between Valentino Rossi and Ferrarista Fernando Alonso may not take place at all in this year’s Vrooom event.
Apparently Rossi is still not in tip top shape after his shoulder surgery (which doesn’t sound good) and doesn’t want to take any chances that could compromise his recovery just for the fun of racing on ice with a Panda 4×4 or go-kart or whatever they’ll be using this year.

Father Graziano who accompanied his son to Madonna del Campiglio, and will race anything on two wheels or four that will drift, could step in to take his son’s place in the highlight event.
According to the Gazzetta dello Sport between photoshoots, press conferences and the fun and games of the Vroom event, Rossi will continue his hard rehabilitation process (at the hotel’s pool and gym) and fitness training to try to be ready for the Sepang test in February.
