Images From Indy - Wet And Dry

Unlike Laguna Seca, where we were fortunate enough to have sent Scott Jones to represent MotoGPMatters.com officially and provide us with some spectacular images, at Indianapolis, we were unable to arrange a press pass.

Luckily, there are other ways of obtaining photos from Indianapolis. Jules Cisek, whose work we have featured previously on MotoGPMatters.com, attended Indianapolis with an ordinary general admission ticket, and still manage to shoot some fabulous shots. Here's a selection:
