#20 Broc Tickle: RCH Suzuki
Beginning at the ripe young age of three years old, Broc Tickle has been working towards Supercross supremacy for many years. 2006 proved to be a great one for Broc, earning himself a title at Loretta Lynn’s Dude Ranch in the 250 Open A class. Shortly thereafter, Tickle entered the Outdoor National circuit and began learning the professional motocross business. Broc raced his heart out for several seasons until 2011. Competing in the AMA 250SX West Coast Championship, Tickle made all of the right moves and managed to find himself sitting atop the leader board at the end of the series grabbing his first national championship on the professional level. After linking up with Ricky Carmichael and the RCH team in 2013, the sky has been the limit for the #20 Suzuki rider. Tickle’s efforts and steady climb up the competition ladder have him sitting nicely in terms of stealing a win in 2016 when the 450 class gets back to work in early January.
What went Down
Consistency pays dividends and Broc Tickle is the man in that department. Tickle raced from start to finish in the same position, fending off a hungry pack the entire moto. With
so many racers possessing a similar speed or potential, it’s tough to maintain consistent positions on the race track. Tickle clicked off a positive eleventh place finish just narrowly missing out on the top ten. With his eyes set on the top ten and even further to the podium, Tickle and the RCH crew are hard at work and come round two will be even more prepared to fight towards the top of the elite 450 Supercross division.
