Monster Energy Supercross Lites Class Champion Broc Tickle Awaits Supercross Class Debut

AURORA, Ill (December 27, 2011) – As the clock winds down to the start of the 2012 Monster Energy AMA Supercross, an FIM World Championship, Monster Energy/Pro Circuit Kawasaki’s Broc Tickle, of
Holly, Mich., will make his debut in the Supercross Class, following an
impressive five-year run in the Lites Class, where he earned a Western
Regional Lites Class championship. Tickle will line up against the
world’s top racers at the season opener on January 7 at Anaheim’s Angel
Stadium.

Throughout
Tickle’s 2011 championship campaign, he topped the standings with one
win and seven podium finishes. Tickle’s triumphant season earned the Monster Energy/Pro Circuit Kawasaki racing squad, the most dominant team in supercross history, their 18^th
Supercross Lites Class championship. The year prior, Tickle won his
career-first Lites Class race and has to his credit two wins, nine
top-three and five top-10 finishes.

“I
think it’s a blessing in disguise that I got bumped up to the
Supercross Class,” said Tickle. “I’m excited to race with the top guys
who have been around for a while. My main goal is to be consistent and
run up front.”

Tickle
made his first appearance racing on a 450cc bike earlier this year at
the Monster Energy Cup alongside supercross’ top guns. With this
valuable experience under his belt, Tickle is anxious to run a full
season on a bigger bike going head-to-head with the world’s best
supercross riders.

“Riding
the 450 suits my style better,” explained Tickle. “Before I was a
bigger guy on a Lites Class bike, and I feel the KX450F is really where I
need it to be. I’ve been training on the KX450F for a while now and am
feeling pretty comfortable. Overall, I’m really happy with the bike. I’m
pretty thankful to be with Kawasaki and Pro Circuit. I’m happy they
gave me the opportunity to stay with the team and transition to the
450.”
