Two 3rd-place podium finishes in a row? Broc seems to be riding his best ever right now. Carey Hart has been really loyal to Broc through his injuries & such over the years...and Tickle has never appeared to be anything but happy with the team & the bike. Any word on whether he'll stay put at RCH or not?

I heard that he is atleast talking to JGR. But this was before his podiums.

He is finally completely heathly and gotten his confidence back at the same time. He deserves a top ride for 2017-2018.

Hope it's not too little, too late. Seems like he & RCH are a good fit.

Is RCH going to be around next year? Do they have any riders signed? Major sponsors are pulling out ... correct?

This is the MILLION DOLLAR question. Lots of rumors on the team at the moment.

I've been told Jimmy John's said that unless they have a proven #1 title threat they're out.

Broc will get a good ride regardless. Especially with his recent results. I hope we see him on the podium the rest of the year.

Not many legit threats for the big titles in 17 ... a three fingered dude would have it covered.

Jimmy John's HRC Factory Racing Honda?

Anyone ever think that Roczen has signed elsewhere for 2017 and beyond because he KNEW there would be no RCH next year?

Same logic applies to Tickle being in talks with JGR

I honestly do not know whether RCH will be around next year or not, but I believe they will, they might not be RCH next year but I think the team as a whole (except a few changes, possibly) will be there. I cannot see Carey closing his doors after how far they've come, from just being a party zone in the pits to having the best rider in the series. Obviously there's been some rumors about Jimmy Johns requiring a championship level rider, but that team has always been good at marketing themselves well and getting big name sponsorship's.

Also, barring catastrophe Roczen pretty much has this title so I have to believe that Suzuki would at least offer them the same deal as they've had after winning them a title, I mean their factory team isn't doing any better. I have no insider info so you might very well be correct, just my opinion on your theory.

The fact that no rider seems to be in talks anymore with the team for a deal next year sure makes it sound like things are rocky over there. Would be a shame to see them leave the sport.

If RCH closed their doors i could see Tickle being a good replacement for Andrew Short on the BTO sports KTM team, unless they already have someone lined up.

Dumb that amateurs get that level of support. Unless you follow on social media, wheres the exposure? Think the coverage of pro moto is bad, how many hours of exposure do the amateurs get?

Well when your motto is "freaky fast". You dont want your rider going slow. Of course right now they are getting more then their $$ worth.

Actually, Ryder DeFrancesco is better for business than a guy like Tickle. Nobody buys a bike because of Tickle. But at the local tracks parents are buying bikes because of Ryder. The one thing about Amateurs is their parents always think they are a bike or a suspension away from the promise land. So when Ryder whips that ass mini parents think it's the bike and then they go buy 2 of what he is riding. 90% of the kids out there don't even know who Broc Tickle is. But at the local tracks 90% of the kids know who Ryder DeFrancesco is. Ryder is a better investment for a Factory hands down.

In the real motocross world which is Amatuer racing a dominate rider like Ryder, Nick Romano Forknor, Sexton ect.. are way more important than a guy like Tickle when it comes to bike sales.

Lots of smoke signals are signalling a shuttering.

all these guys in the top 20 deserve a ride. when everyones healthy and racing you can place them anywhere you want and they all will have good days and ok days. with the exception of a few that could win. they are all badass and shine on different days. broc is a perfect example
