I like races at Long Beach even though they can be a bit processional. Still don't know what O'Ward was doing at the beginning when he was getting passed by everyone.
Also, I still find it funny when the announcers talk about Ericsson and Rosenqvist as rookies.
Oh and final thought, Rossi is good.

Agree with all of the above. Rahal simply drove the best line he could to defend his position - didn't move in reaction to where Dixon went.
I didn't understand the (evidently) fuel saving strategy of O'Ward in the first third of the race.
Rossi's performance must rank well up there with the most dominant in the history of the LBGP. I'm thinking of Brian Redman in the Haas Lola F5000 and Al Unser Jr. for both Galles and Penske. It would be interesting to go through the stats for each year and see how the other winners compare in terms of laps led, margin of victory, etc.
