A perfect 10 for marvelous Marquez

Even Marc Marquez's imperfections could not derail his perfect season on Sunday.

The 21-year-old MotoGP sensation recovered from a bad start to take the lead, gave it right back and then retook it for the final 18 laps, beating Spain's Jorge Lorenzo by 1.803 seconds to become the first back-to-back winner of the Indianapolis Grand Prix. Italy's Valentino Rossi was third.

Though Marquez has been virtually unbeatable this season, with eight poles and 10 wins in 10 races, it looked as if a couple of early miscues might put that streak in jeopardy. Not a chance.
