While watching the MEC I noticed Tickle looked different. I know he's been putting his time in at the Bakery, but man, he looked thin. Did anyone else see that or was it an odd camera angle that fooled me?

Looks like he dropped a good 10-15 pounds. Looks like a grape smuggling road biker now. Still fast and smooth though, hope he has a good season come '18

But zacho did lose weight after joining Aldon, and his results got better. Tickle might shock the moto community come A1

Zacho looked like he was near death too for a while. Its pretty amazing that these guys can have such low body fat yet perform at this level. The amount of calories they must consume on practice and race days must be ridiculous.

Ill 100% agree. I think the 20 may throw a wrench in some plans this year as well.

Low body fat ??
the funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it

Was very stoked on Broc's consistency last night. Him and Deano both. I think both riders will consistently be around the top 5, with podium appearances very likely.
Positively, absolutely 110% obsessed with anything MOTO.

Even just one pound of body fat is 3500 calories. The slimmest rider out there has more than enough calories stored in body fat to get them through one day of racing.

Zacho could take on the 24 hrs of Le mans 
this pic shocked me tbh , as most riders training at Bakers Factory are very lean and he looks far from lean .. this pic was taken at this years MXON .

But yes hes lost weight. As long as his body efficient I dont see a problem. Musquin is tiny but hes got finesse like a 90s r&b singer

Maybe it should be a requirement for anyone who wants to do some body critiquing to post a photo of themselves, too...
I think Broc has always been fairly lean, but I'm not sure how much of it was diet/training, and how much is the cut of the Alpinestars compared to the Vexea stuff he was wearing before.

Edited Date/Time:
Remember how rail-thin Dungey looked at first when he was really hitting the Baker regimen initially? He bulked back before long, enough to still be thin, but looked really fit...not anemic like he did before. I think Tickle will “flesh out” some too before A1...if he’s been at Bakers place already.

I’m pretty shocked at how many riders are fat by the standard of professional athletes. Baker has always been good at making his riders lose weight.

After watching the race yesterday TIckle would be a much faster rider if he could go lower in corners and lower on scrubs, the rest of his riding is really good however it's costing him not going extra low.
He had a good ride.

5 weeks post-season and was in England for 3 weeks prior to the race on vacation. November starts the work.
