Dorna has announced that Thursday’s pre-event press conference ahead of the Valencia, Spain, final round of the MotoGP World Championship has been cancelled as riders and teams have been summoned by ‘permanent bureau’.

Tension is high following the controversial Sepang clash between Valentino Rossi and Marc Marquez, with Rossi and Lorenzo now set to go head-to-head at Valencia for the 2015 title.

The official statement read as follows:

Following the events that occurred at the Malaysian Grand Prix and further developments over the following week and given the exceptional circumstances, the permanent bureau of the FIM MotoGP World Championship, comprising of Messrs Vito Ippolito, FIM president, and Carmelo Ezpeleta, chief executive officer of Dorna Sports, will summon all MotoGP riders and their respective team managers to address the situation on Thursday 5th November at 15.30 local time. Given these circumstances, the pre-event press conference scheduled at 17.00 will be cancelled.
