Posted this on my instagram page a few weeks ago.

He would never do it but deep down inside you know he like to give WADA, FIM etc. etc. the ole Johnny Cash you're number one if he gets any air time, wins LCQ etc.

I think if he gets into and through the main event then that’s a win for him

Make the main? I think so, the JGR bikes run quick to the first turn...

Finish? Putting him 14-17. Hope he does well and improves throughout the rest of the year.

8-13 stamp it. He has never stopped riding or training. In fact he was coaching guys and watching the races to help coach guys. He'll be ready.

15-22 if he makes the main. He’s going to be race rusty...but will be better as he gets more races under his belt

The real question is how many times does Ralph talk about him?
I think it'll be either 0 or 300 times.

He was a really solid top6-top8 rider, as consistent and often racing with Brayton for instance. So in this field i still think he could very well get a top5 this season, while battling often around the top 10.

But as a first race back, a very good result would be to make the main and get a 15-17th. Indeed I would not be surprised by some arm pump, the race pace on these brutal tracks is no joke!

He'll be in the main but somewhere 12-16. No gate drops in almost 2 years, and the battle from 1-12 is pretty intense right now. Plus, he has not had much time on the JGR bike. Yes he rode a Suzuki 5 years 2013-17 but he's been on a KTM/Husky since. By Daytona I can see him running top-10.
Good thing the Suzuki hasn’t changed much Wink

IF, he grabbed a holeshot in the main (totally feasible) how many guys get past him? 5? 7? Surely not 10?

Its difficult to envisage him moving forward in the field, but at what part of the field will he be able to hold his own? I do think inside the top 10, provided he starts up front.

I think he's a solid to make the main. Beyond that is just guess work but I think he has a better bike and probably a little more hungry than Reed right now. So I say he transfers out of the heat.

I think he makes the main. I know you cannot make judgments from videos...But his whoop speed did not look good at the JGR test track. But, who knows how much more comfortable he is on the bike now.

He'll make the main via LCQ. In the main, I think he'll start in the top 10, but he's not in race condition and will fade to around 14-16. If he stays healthy, by the end of the year, he'll be in the 7-10 range.

I think he's going to be surprised at how fast everyone is going and have a tough night. Going from practice to racing at the highest level like he is......i would think he might have a few small, tip over type crashes. He has to get his race timing back. I think he makes it into the main and finishes 12th with a great return ride.

Not too sure why everyone is thinking Bt20 was just sitting around doing nothing. His conditioning is second to non and getting back into race shape is pretty easy to do when you carry and heartrate of 70bpm at peak excursion, im sure it will spike a couple times througout the night but for the most part. I see him doing pretty well.

10-15 IMO... start fast and fade from lack of racing is my bet.

This is a guy that has always had top 5 speed, consistent lap times, strong fitness. He can crack the top ten for sure. Not on the talent depth of roczen, Tomac, Webb, AC but the guy in in the 5% club of having more talent in a pinky then most privateers gain their entire careers. So I’m officially STAMPING IT... Tickle finishes inside the top 8.

Kidding with top 5 speed.

I think top 10 is easily achievable for Brock, maybe not this weekend but in a couple rounds for sure!

Probably make the main in the LCQ when Enticknap gets a good start and crashes and Tickle gets a transfer spot.

With the typical East coast track? It all depends on where he starts. I do see him making the main though. It isn't like he's been sitting on a couch for two years. He knows how to train and knows how to race.

Man let's see what happens coming off the suspension and races with guys like Wilson and Marty D for anywhere from 10-12 in my opinion.
