The CAS dismisses request by Valentino Rossi for stay of execution of FIM Stewards’ decision.

On 4 November 2015, a preliminary hearing was held at the headquarters of the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) in Lausanne in the matter Valentino Rossi v. the Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme. The FIM was represented by its Legal Director, Mr Richard Perret.

Following the hearing, the CAS issued an Order dismissing the application for a stay filed by Mr Rossi concerning the decision rendered on 25 October 2015 by the FIM Stewards.

The CAS ruling on the request for stay of execution does not prejudge the final award on the merits of the case.

In appealing to the CAS against the decision of the FIM Stewards, Mr Rossi seeks annulment or modification of the FIM Stewards’ decision taken at the Shell Malaysia Motorcycle Grand Prix in Sepang, in which the FIM Stewards confirmed the 3 penalty points awarded by the Race Direction to Mr Rossi following an incident on Turn 14.

The FIM takes note of the ruling of the CAS.

As a consequence of this ruling, at the Gran Premi de la Comunitat Valenciana, last race of the FIM World Championship Grand Prix, Mr Rossi will start from the last position on the Grid.

Good job I got my Lorenzo Rep early. Will probably go up on price in Monday when he is world champion for a 3rd time

unfortunately it will go down in price when people realise/understand that his world championship (if) win was gifted to him

[Perkles]

I still think he can win the championship from the back of the grid

[Blade]

I think you may be right Perks and ironically if he does it will be partly as the Honda's including MM have helped him by coming 1st and 2nd.

Tricky come on mate you don't even belief that yourself No world championship is ever gifted let alone your third.

You watch mate everyone will want one come Monday

[Frankie]

Well he is either gonna just say feck it! Or we are in for a cracking race.....

[Blade]

Hopefully the latter.

[Blade]

According to twitter Rossi has said he will race next year

[Blade]

Hopefully a sign Rossi means buinsess this weekend.

VR46 first bikes out in pit lane today

[Perkles]

I suspect Rossi will run with a full tank and hone his race pace

[D6]

Up yours Rossi.

C'mon Jorge

Lorenzo hasn't won anything yet and it certainly wouldn't be gifted. It is by being able to control his head game for longer than Rossi.

If Lorenzo wins, Rossi threw it away, but that certainly doesn't mean it was gifted to him

[Blade]

If Rossi looses his 10th title by a few points his actions in Sepang will leave a life long bitter taste in his mouth. Its a tragic way to loose a title by being unsporting.

Flip sides is if he wins the title starting from the back of the grid all will be forgiven and the legend will be cemented forever.

[Roadrace]

The last time Rossi was under any real pressure to win the championship in the latter stages of the season, he bottled it and binned it......Hayden won the championship that year.

Just sayin'
