MotoGP racers hoping clear weather produces better at Indianapolis

MotoGP racers in Indy aim to give fans better show

INDIANAPOLIS — Motorcycle racers are hoping clear weather will give Indianapolis fans a better look at their sport.

The forecast for Sunday’s Indianapolis GP race includes cool temperatures and no rain.

A year ago, the event was stopped early because of heavy rain and gusty winds that sent debris onto the street course and blew down tents in the infield.

Defending champion Valentino Rossi and others acknowledged they had to play it safe last year and hope to give the fans a better show this time around.

Skies were overcast before Friday’s practice.
