BROC TICKLE
#20 Broc Tickle- Has had a rough
go in the past couple years since his hard fought title in the 250 west coast class in 2011. Broc has been a part
of the professional circuit since 2006 always putting in strong results and progressing every year before winning a title in the lites class for Pro Curcuit Kawasaki. Since then Tickle has rode in the 450 class and currently rides for the RCH Jimmy Johns Suzuki team.
At Toronto supercross in 2014 Tickle suffered an injury to his T7 vertebrae in practice which was a huge set back for him and the RCH team. Since then it has been a rebuilding process for Broc, who is certainly capable of putting his bike in the top 10 every weekend.
Broc was unable to line up on the gate this weekend at round 3 of that AMA Monster Energy Supercross series from a practice crash, Broc had earlier in the week. Tickle will be sitting out the next 4- 6 weeks due to a fractured distal radius in his right forearm. Broc underwent surgery right away at Loma Linda University Medical Centre. Broc has been racing at a good pace at round 1 and 2 finishing a respectable 11th and 14th in the mains. Tickle will bounce back from this injury and soon be fighting to get into the top 10 before the end of supercross season. Heal up soon Broc.
