Rossi penalty appeal dismissed

Valentino Rossi will start the final round of the season at Valencia from last position on the grid after his appeal to the CAS was dismissed this morning.

A tenth world championship hangs in the balance and I for one believe the penalty should have been reduced or suspended until Qatar 2016.

The title fight has been tainted by this outcome and although it is still possible for Rossi to claim the title, it will be a near impossible task.

Best of luck to both Vale and Jorge this Sunday. May the best man win.
