Rossi denies Ferrari test claims

MotoGP star Valentino Rossi takes a close look at a Ferrari

Rossi has impressed in his tests for Ferrari

Valentino Rossi says Ferrari's claims that he will test for their F1 team regularly next season are "rubbish".

Technical director Ross Brawn made the announcement at Monza three weeks ago.

But the Italian four-times MotoGP champion, who has already tested twice for Ferrari, said: "I am totally committed to Yamaha next year.

"I will not have time for Formula One testing. I don't know how Ferrari knows what I'm doing next year when often I don't know what I'm doing next week."

Speaking ahead of the Japanese MotoGP, where he could clinch a fifth straight title this weekend, he added: "I've made no decisions about anything in 2007."
