Stikman chronicles the joy of following the circus for Troy Lee Designs. At least he’s got good luggage.

More than one tough break for Cedric Gracia; hip and perhaps femur. Maybe pelvis. He’s out for the foreseeable future that is for certain. As you can see his spirits aren’t dented in the least. Heal up @CedricGracia!

A huge performance for Steve Smith in Val Di Sole with a severely swollen hand. Here’s hoping he managed to do some healing on the road.
