Great opportunity for Tickle's career. When Tickle's on, he can run right up toward the front. Aldon's going to get more "on" days out of him too.

There is nothing in Aldons bag of tricks that will make Tickle a constant podium threat.

I would like to be a fly on the wall and hear the conversations and reasoning behind the decisions.
Did you see some of his decisions at Suzuki?

Lmao, you're on drugs. He finished in the top 10 at multiple rounds and his best in 2016 was a 5-4 for 4th overall.

Hangtown: 17-15 = 14th Overall
Glen Helen: 29-7 = 13th Overall
Thunder Valley: 8-12 = 8th Overall
High Point: 4-9 = 6th Overall
Tennessee: 4-8 = 6th Overall
RedBud: 6-7 = 7th Overall
Southwick: 5-5 = 6th Overall
Millville: 5-4 = 4th Overall
Washougal: 37-6 = 13th Overall

He was easily a top 10 guy on a factory ride. But yeah, you were close. Whistling

I think Bogle could benefit from Aldon

People predicting Tickle makes the podium more than once next year are not being true to themselves and are wishfully thinking and not being realistic to brocs abilities. He's a podium threat AT BEST and on a great night; on a week to week basis and if he stays healthy the entire year he would be expected to finish top 10 overall points. He's not spectacular and won't garnish a whole lot of attention but is a consistent finisher with more upside than downside when gambling on his investment. He definitely won't win but he also won't finish last and will make the main every wknd, you just may not notice him rolling around in 10-20th every week... pick your poison. No flash and mediocre consistency, or a chance for flash but hit or miss results??

Thanks for the love tap back.

I would add Tickle and CP were 4th and 5th in the championship until CP got injured trying to take the 4th spot.

And I would add that basically CP was potentially top 5 material outdoor again this season, as he has always been since he moved to the US, and yes also due since the 450 years to the attrition rate playing it usually safer during a long season.

Back to Tickle, i think he will have a breakthrough year with heat wins, a couple podiums and lots of top 5 in SX, and i put him on the podium in the 450 outdoor championship. It is not only about training with Baker; Musquin, Anderson and Osborne are pretty good guys to train with and I doubt Tickle want to be the mouse all year.

And then there's this, three guys with a lot of credit at turning out championships have taken him on. Decoster, Baker and before them Mitch who he delivered for. You can't ignore that. One thing that can't be argued, it's going to be interesting to see what they can do with him.

Top 10 consistently is realistic but podium I'm not so sure about. Especially with a healthy field of Tomac, Roczen, Anderson, Musquin, Bagget and Seely. I think he could consistently fight with Barcia, Webb, Craig and a few others for 5th through 10th weekly. He will certainly have those rides where he's fighting for a podium position a few times per year though.

Broc was a smart choice for RBKTM, in my opinion. Consistant, fast, seems to be a team-player...never much drama or controversy. I think that anything he can glean from his time with Baker will be a huge benefit for him. The saying that Aldon turns "champions into champions" might not apply to Tickle, but "making almost-champions into front-runners" might.

I just watched that video like an hour ago and had to do a double take.

..... But on a side note, is it fun to watch Herlings ride or what.
