Valentino Rossi has ruled out switching to formula one.

Some years ago, the MotoGP legend flirted with a change of codes, conducting a series of tests with Ferrari.

Now 34, the Italian said: "Unfortunately, F1 is a thing of the past for me.

"I'm too old, the train has left already," he told Italy's Sky broadcaster.

"While I'm competitive, I'll stay on bikes."
