I don't know why RC & Hart signed the two riders they did to the team...because neither deserve the rides they have performing like they do. That's mean and hard...but it's a fact. I can give more sympathy to Hill simply because of his past injuries, and I think that Carey Hart just kept his promise not to let him fall through the cracks, and saved a ride for him. Kudos to Hart for being a cool dude, but there are riders on the track that are busting their asses each week riding MUCH faster than Tickle or Hill that would bust it even more if given a factory Suzuki to ride each week. Tickle just comes off to me like a guy who feels entitled to be where he is because he spent the time on the PC team that he did...but maybe I'm wrong.

That comment was funny...but it shows the level of disappointment that RC has for that kind of riding. He demands a lot because he gave a lot, and always got the best equipment because he was a "put up or shut up" kind of guy. He didn't get on a factory Kawasaki, Honda or Suzuki and ride like he was in the drive through at In & Out Burger.
Are you serious? First of all who could RCH get? All the riders they wanted were signed. And hes 10th in points, the only people I would expect him to beat are Short and Brayton, everyone else has either won races/ championships. The field is so stacked im not sure how much beter he could do.

That was the funniest thing I ever heard a team manager say about their rider. At the same time I'm not convinced RC is manager material. He is not getting results and that is the measuring stick.

Well, there were years when Roger DeCoster didn't get results either, like '02 - '04. He didn't have the riders back then, but he kept trying to work on the rest of the program, and when he thought he had the team and equipment like he wanted it, he went out and hired RC and Goose Gosselar, and the rest is history.
You are 100% correct. It will be awesome to see RC "the manager" turn this team around like DeCoster did at every team he ever worked for. Funny but I don't remember DeCoster going on National TV and destroying the image of his ONLY rider. RC saying that is as bad as forum members calling him a obese, lard ass. Sure both statements are true but sometimes judgment comes into play.

Neither Tickle or Hill are doing a great job of beating Short & Brayton this year. And, Short has smoked them both on a bike that wouldn't make a sticker on the RCH's rear fender on more than a couple races. I really wish RCH had had the budget/opportunity to snatch Andrew Short before He landed on the KTM. I think he'd do great on the Suzuki.

RC probably expects a 100% effort he gave when he raced.....Besides That's whats they are getting paid for.

The pressure Tickle must feel on a daily basis must be unreal. I understand RC expects more but he has never been a front runner in 450 supercross before so its unrealistic to expect it now. 9th is a good finish in this field and I kind of feel bad for Tickle cause you know he is trying his hardest.

This is a significant problem with motocross. Tickle was one of the 10th fastest motocrossers on the planet saturday night and not only gets ridiculed by internet morons, but by the guy who signed a top 10 motocrosser to ride for him.

All of the guys in both LCQ's are incredible athletes, amazing young men, deserving the utmost respect.

But somehow, you read this crap, listen to the commentators on network tv and some of the moto press, and you think only Villo is the one who works hard and deserves a good word.

pathetic

Yes the tipping over was very funny!!!!

Sad part is once again they dropped the ball on rider sponsors. Emig "Im sure AJ has some great sponsors supporting him" Jesus dude use that iphone for something other than mad skills! amasupercross.com heard of it? shows sponsors... felt sorry for the Pilgrim Powersports/Pickett Weaponry/TLR/Tirestickers Team that shells out the cash

Well said. When you watch practice the guys in the B and C groups look like they are sketchy riders compared to the A group, when in reality if those guys showed up to your local race they would be alot faster than everyone else.

RC did also say just after the comment "its ok alot of riders are just cruising around" i think that RC expects broc to be able to race to the finish and maybe if he did he may pick up an extra point here and there.

I don't know where the logic that a 250 Lites championship equals a contender in the 450 class. Weimer is another good example of a 250 Lites rider that isn't having very good results on the 450. I know there is a lot of Weimer bashers here but I'm a fan of his. . . Wish he would get it together.

My favorite part was how he was in full roll laughter every time Friese was on the screen.


As far as RCH goes, its pretty obvious what he has going on.

They wanted a consistent rider like Tickle, who, although he might not be a title contender, he will be on the gate every weekend. What this allows a new team is time to iron out the kinks, and get their program in line. Then, they can pick up the talent, and go after a title. L&Mc said this explicitly about their effort with Short. I think JGR is STILL doing it, and waiting for a better Yamaha in the meantime.

I also think their intentions were to steal the factory Suzuki effort away from Yoshimura, eventually.They figured if San Manuel could do it with Yamaha, Yoshi could do it with Suzuki, then they could do it, too.

Agreed...

And the RC comment was fuckin hilarious! lol

I just think RC sees more in Tickle than Tickle sees in himself and THAT probably pisses RC off. You have to BELIEVE that you CAN win before you can ACTUALLY win. We all know there is tremendous up side to Tickle and the talent is there but as we all know with sports a lot of it is "mental" and in my eyes that's what he's fighting right now. But with that being said I still think he's doing a hell of a job and will continue to get better.

You're kinda taking the comments out of context. The argument was Tickle is a better outdoor rider than indoor. The results don't back that up.

Weimer has done fine for himself. He was 3rd in the series last year and doing well in a super competitive field this year before breaking his ribs. Yea he sucked this last weekend but he's nowhere near fully healed yet. Just good enough to ride. He's not on the short list of guys who will win on pure speed but he's definitely the next level back even with Brayton when healthy. A guy with the speed to put in some impressive results when it comes together for him. Tickle has never shown that even after everyone got hurt last year.

There isn't enough room for Ralph in that booth anymore.

I hope he gets fired. And for god sakes, give Fro a joint and I'll bet he will be coining more words than preparated.

22:50 on Scotties vid for RC's comment on Tickle... Sounds like something I've said to my son after a bad race.
