I
f the 2015 season is set for a
cliff-hanger finale—and the law
of averages suggests that it is—
then the Indianapolis Grand Prix
took us all one step closer to the
edge of the precipice.
The iconic Brickyard laid on a
feast of varied racing. A crowd
of some 67,000 may have been
dwarfed by the grandstands with
seating for another 183,000
absentees, and they may have
been punished by muggy, rainy
weather.
But they shared in three
races, each extraordinary in its
own way. Moto3 was completely
bizarre, as rain came then went
at the worst possible time;
Moto2 was for once a mass
front-running battle more like the
junior class, and the MotoGP
race was, well, iconic.
Two pairs dominated, and the
Marquez (93) got off the line
cleanly but Lorenzo (99) would
keep the world champion at bay
for all but three laps.
