That would be nice to see. Broc is one awesome dude but cracking a top 10 against the seasoned riders will be a tall order. He has the speed but not so sure about two 35 minute motos.
Fingers crossed that he shows up for a few rounds to prove me wrong.
With all the time he’s spent these last few years testing and developing bikes and training riders…I’d guess he’d last. It’ll come down to how much he’s willing to “throw down” in order to stay with the front runners. It’s 2 motos of insane lap times…
And on some seriously gnarly tracks.
At Highpoint: in the last moto…both Jett & Chase pulled off a 2:09 “Fastest Lap” and they finished with 2:14(Jett) & 2:13(Chase). Back in 10th, Shane McElrath put in a 2:16 Fastest Lap and finished with a 2:19. That’s a fast crowd!
When you look at how much talent it takes to lead in this crowd…damn…he’s gonna ride his fastest National ever if he’s gonna run in and stay in the top 10 with this crowd.
At Red Bud…? Well, that the place for him to try to pull it off.
Who’s goin?
At the beginning of the season they said he will be back at redbud.
Any idea as to what he will ride? A full factory kawa (AC9's bike) or will it be something he built himself with some parts thrown his way?

Another victim of the WADA’s “Death penalty for parking violation” policy.
I wonder how the NBA MLB NASCAR NFL would do under the WADA?
Could just be me, but seems US riders have gotten hit more than others.
As I recall, Broc has his own set-up at both the “full factory bike” level and he’s got his own production based set-up with some nice stuff on it…which is what I think he ran at the Glen when he raced.
I’m guessing he races a full tilt team “factory” bike at Red Bud
Hmm
If I had any money I would consider wagering that he beats Anderson
I got nothing against Anderson but I'd love to see Tickle own him. That might just wake the old Anderson up.
Thanks bud, sounds like either way he will have a good bike.
The NBA is a joke. It won't be long before they don't test for any "culturally popular" recreational drugs, because doing so would mean suspending a majority of the players. Pot was first and I'm guessing Purple Drank might be the next to get the blind eye.
Saw him at High Point. He said he's in for RedBud and one other round...I can't remember the other on.
Dude it’s Jason Anderson, there’s not a chance Broc can touch him. In his prime he wasn’t beating Anderson, so why would he be able to now.
That said, I hope we see Broc lineup at Redbud and I’ll most definitely be rooting for him!!
I definitely like Broc, but JA’s been riding pretty good lately IMO.
He didn’t get pushed out, he got caught.
Broc is ripping locally, I dont see any reason he can't do well at a national round or two.
Will be good to see Tickle line up and race again. I think he will be around 10th in my opinion. Nicoletti, Noren and Tickle should be close.
Can't wait to see Broc line up at Red Bud. Maybe a top 10?
We’re Cary, NC locals & have been Tickle fans since the minibike days… We got to go to the Loretta Lynn National during Covid & it was sooooo awesome to see Tickle show he still had it.
I’ve always been bummed that he didn’t do much after the doping violation. It seemed like he had quite a bit of speed still.
Even my dog has been repping Team Tickle for three years waiting on his comeback!
Pit Row
You would lose that money
😂
I'll take the bet at 2/1
It was bullshit to get suspended over some pre-workout powder and you can't convince me otherwise. I've taken about 10 different pre-workout powders from GNC with DMAA in them over the years. It cost him a KTM factory ride and it marred his name in the industry undeservedly. It's not Broc's fault some supplement company doesn't regulate themselves properly. The guy wasn't using anything, he took a damn product you can buy at the mall. To Broc's credit, he took it all on the chin. He didn't deserve it though. Accidents happen when athletes take the same supplements and medicine you and I do. It was explained, made sense and the punishment was overly severe, just like James's TUE debacle. You know how many people take Adderall with a prescription? They cost the sport another couple great years with JS7 over some paperwork.
To me, it was all bullshit. They crucified some our top guys over dumb stuff. You catch someone swapping blood bags and taking EPO, hang em. You take some GNC workout powder or mess up the paperwork on your Adderall prescription, don't ruin people's careers over that.
It was a bit more than tainted supplements, but I get what you’re saying.
So it wasn't DMAA?
if your concerned about his training, maybe need to look at his strava, he puts in more work than his teammates, his riding mates and all. Hes a psychopath on Strava, 4,5,6 hour rides. Hes in shape.

Bicycling and riding moto for two 30’s every weekend plus sx before that isn’t the same. Sorry, it’s still doubtful.
Those graphics are bitchin.
That kit is lit!
