Honda's motorcycle road racer Marc Marquez has won his 10th MotoGP race in a row at Indianapolis to equal Mick Doohan's 1997 record and continue his domination in the 2014 season.
The Spanish racer fought his way back from fifth to overcome Yamaha's Jorge Lorenzo (second) and Valentino Rossi (third) and Ducati's Andrea Dovizioso.
Marquez said that he expected an easier race but at the start it was very close, and added that his tyres were on the limit so it was difficult. He said that it is great to win again, The BBC reported.
Reigning champion Marquez has won every race this season and has also been victorious in all five of his MotoGP races in the United States.
Marquez started the race on pole but found himself in fifth place after the first corner following a lightening start by Dovizioso, on the much improved Ducati, and Rossi, who took the lead in the Yamaha after coming up from the second row.

The defending champion managed to haul his Honda back up to third by the second lap at America's famous Indianapolis Speedway and when Rossi and Dovizioso touched on lap five as the Italian pair duelled for the lead, it left the door wide open for Marquez to take his usual place at the head of the field.
Nine-time champion Rossi re-took the lead on the following lap but although the Yamahas battled manfully with Marquez up to half distance, the Spaniard edged away to win by 1.803 seconds from Lorenzo, with Rossi 6.558 secs back in third.
If Marquez wins the next four races he can retain the MotoGP title at his home Aragon GP in Spain on 28 September, while the next race is in Brno, Czech Republic on 17 August, the report added.
