The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), who are currently reviewing Valentino Rossi’s case, rejected Jorge Lorenzo’s request for intervention.

Earlier today, the Court of Arbitration for Sport rejected a request for intervention filed by the Spanish MotoGP rider Jorge Lorenzo.

On 2 November 2015, lawyers acting for Jorge Lorenzo filed a request for intervention in order to be able to participate on his behalf in the CAS arbitration between Valentino Rossi and the FIM.

This afternoon, the CAS informed the parties that Lorenzo’s request was denied. Accordingly, the CAS arbitration will continue between Rossi and the FIM only.

The decision on Rossi’s request to stay the execution of the FIM Steward’s decision is still expected to be issued no later than 6 November 2015.
