PHOTOS: Motocross Redux 2015

The 2015 Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Series is in the books and the so-called off-season is upon us. This year’s championship was a fight to the finish in the 250MX class, where a DNF in moto one by Red Bull KTM’s Marvin Musquin at the series finale allowed Yamaube/Star Racing Yamaha’s Jeremy Martin to retain his title after a season-long duel with Musquin.

In the 450MX class, Red Bull KTM’s Ryan Dungey went from being the “Diesel” to the “Dominator”, in a championship that was all but over at the midway point of the season.

Here’s a look back on the 2015 Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Series season with photographs from our roving reporter Shan Moore.
