Officials from FIM and the organizing committed of the 85th Editions of the ISDE in Morelia Mexico, canceled the final day of the six days of Enduro competition after safety issues arose.Motorcycling Sports Director - Ignacio Verneda and President of the 2010 ISDE Organizing Committee - Luis Otero made the following statements about their decision.

Ignacio Verneda: "This is 100% the correct decision, as in all cases the security and safety of everyone involved with the event is the most important consideration…. Although the risk was only very minimal, we prefer not to take any risk at all. In all cases the decision has been well accepted by the riders, the teams and all those associated with the event."

Luis Otero: "The organizing committee is extremely sad about this situation, as so far we have enjoyed a fantastic competition. From the start our philosophy was to have fun and for five days everyone has had incredible fun. However due to circumstances beyond our control we have now taken the difficult, but correct decision to cancel the final day……Our main goal has been the security of the riders in the hills, but now the priority is for the authorities to provide security for all the people in the region."

The competition therefore draws to a close in the 85th Edition of the ISDE with KTM's Johnny Aubert the outstanding rider of the event. He was the clear winner in the E2 class and made a major contribution to France retaining the prestigious World Trophy together with his teammates Nicolas Deparrois, Sebastien Guillaume, Antoine Meo, Rodrig Thain and Christophe Nambotin.
