Jules Cisek does the show alone and it's a super short one. Not much in the news and it's been a strange week (this episode was recorded at a bus station in San Francisco o.O).

We wrap up with Jules talking with Adam Silver about Adam's trip to the Donington MotoGP round and Day of Champions.

We then do a mini preview of the Misano round of MotoGP and WSBK is back at the Nürbergring. And finally a message from Bob Hayes.
* Final pre-Indy GP show

Going to Indianapolis? MotoGPod and MotoGPMatters are having a joint meet'n'greet at the Pagoda on the yard of bricks on Saturday, August 29 at noon. Hope to see you there!
