Broc Tickle made his Supercross racing return for the JGRMX Yoshimura Suzuki Racing team in the weekend’s Monster Energy AMA/ FIM World Supercross series at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida.
After limited time on the bike after a two-year lay-off, although familiar with the competitive Suzuki RM-Z450, Tickle was impressive all day and finished the 450 Main Event in a respectable 12th place. The event also marked the opening round of 250 East Coast racing where Jimmy Decotis soldiered through a practice crash injury to score top-10 points on his Suzuki RM-Z250.
There was a lot of excitement surrounding Tickle’s return to racing as a Supercross fill-in 450 rider for the JGR team, and Tickle did not disappoint: The Michigan native showed he hadn’t lost a tick of speed during time qualifying where he posted top-15 lap times on the first, second, and overall qualifying session time sheets. In his heat race, he avoided a first turn tangle and made his way to a solid fourth-place finish and direct transfer to the Main Event.
