War of words erupts between Rossi and Pedrosa

Five-time champion and living legend Valentino Rossi has criticised his arch-rival Dani Pedrosa, saying that the Spaniard is incapable of overtaking.
The comments came in response to Pedrosa's observation at last month's Czech GP, that Rossi is too aggressive when overtaking other riders on the track.
Rossi said: "The problem with Pedrosa at this moment, is that he is not able to overtake.
"He arrives at the front always over-shooting, so the danger is him, not me. He needs more experience and to understand the way to overtake."
On Sunday the two riders will take their feud to track, when they compete in the Australian MotoGP.
Pedrosa moved up to Moto GP this year, after winning the 250cc world championship last season.
Rossi added: "I don't know the situation in 250 but this is MotoGP."
The Italian rider is battling to win his sixth championship, currently just four points behind the second-place Pedrosa.
Nicky Hayden currently leads the championship.
