So any bets on the outcome of Rossi's appeal.
Personally I think it will fail, as CAS generally deals with doping, contracts and general ability to compete, internal matters that are resolvable within a sporting body are not really their bag. That said, I'm probably wrong. And VR can go all Human Rights....

I think the appeal will be rejected. What is still unclear in this story is why the press conference for Valencia was cancelled and replaced with an internal meeting. I am sure they could have done this meeting another time and still have the press conference. What can be the play here?

I think they play is to try calm the situation down a bit, re-iterate to riders to ride their own races, and not to say or do things to inflame the situation. At least that should be the intent, and they should still have the press conference....
Either way, I think JLo making his submission to CAS wont help calm the situation at all. He could have stayed on the high ground but instead chose to be petty and inflame the situation further. I wont be surprised if Iannone become JLo's biggest pest on track during practice and qualifying....after all if JLo can get involved in the Rossi/MM spat then why can't Iannone and the rest of the field....
Even if Rossi does start at the back of the field....JLo may find that no one between the back of the field to 6th gets seriously in Rossi's way come the start of the Race...

I'll put something out there, and it may get shot down:
Is it possibly that JLo wanted himself or his representatives at this meeting to witness first hand the proceedings? I'm not doubting for one second that his PRIMARY objective is to handicap Rossi as much as possible, bu could it also be that he knows Rossi's influence over the sport and fears that for totally unjustified reasons, Rossi's appeal is accepted?

Hopefully they will all be asked to sign a new code of conduct constraining them to some kind of internal dispute resolution before using press conferences for expressing their view on RD decisions and/or hurling accusations at their opponents or generally rat-shitting the value of the MotoGP brand.
It's an arbitration process to resolve the dispute between Rossi and the FIM. It's a standardised CAS process with a detailed set of strict rules, one of which being that the proceedings and the Award are confidential. It's not a hearing, it's not public. The option of Intervention pursued by Lorenzo's lawyers is a provision of the standard CAS process.
