Photographer’s insight:
On Friday the tornado had forced the organizers to cancel the practice sessions and on Saturday it was raining. However the rain, I mean the right rain, sometimes can give you some beautiful and interesting photographic opportunities. The tests were about to end when, after the rain, which had made the track just damp, not wet, a ray of sunshine showed up! In that moment I figured out that in the descent to the tunnel there was a trickle of water and as riders pass it by it would raise a small and golden cloud of water!
