Jorge Lorenzo has had his request for intervention in the Court of Arbitration for Sport case of Valentino Rossi, who appealed the decision of Race Direction and the FIM following his three penalty points and demotion to the back of the grid in Valencia after his collision with Marc Marquez.
Lorenzo felt that the potential decision of CAS could directly affect him, and like Rossi, exercised his right to seek intervention from CAS.
A statement read: “Earlier today, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) 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 Mr Lorenzo's request was denied. Accordingly, the CAS arbitration will continue between Valentino Rossi and the FIM only.
The decision on Mr 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.”
