How does Broc Tickle finish? Is he a solid pick to make main?

Appologies if discussed in another thread but a quick scan looked more like discussions of PEDS, WADA, getting a raw deal etc.

Just wondering where most have him penciled in.

Is he even a solid pick for the main yet and if so what his best case scenario? Considering him for the wild card spot which this week is 15th for RMfantasy.

This is a tough one. I think he will make the main through the LCQ and finish 17th. He just needs to get through a few rounds and I think he can be a 12-15th place guy consistently for the rest of this season.

I'd say he makes the main unless something unexpected happens.
In the main maybe 12-15.

He'll probably pass AP7 for 13th.

He Will haul ass, not much expectation seems to bring out the best in a rider of tickles calibre. I'll call an 8th place finish.

I'm going with he makes the main event, and places 11th!

Good wishes to him, and JGR!

He'll be in the main but somewhere 12-16. No gate drops in almost 2 years, and the battle from 1-12 is pretty intense right now. Plus, he has not had much time on the JGR bike. Yes he rode a Suzuki 5 years 2013-17 but he's been on a KTM/Husky since. By Daytona I can see him running top-10.

Dude has a ton of race-rust to knock off, and can't be in top 20 min plus a lap kind of shape ...

However.... Dude has been biting at the bit for months... If he keeps it on two wheels, he is a top ten guy....

Makes the main, Barcia does his usual blocking, Tickle takes him out and ends up 9th.

Makes it into the main. Finishes 11th-15th. Possibly 16th-17th.

Top 8 and thats very impressive in this field. If he stays healthy I say battling for top 5s within 3 weeks.

No chance he makes the top 10. This field is way too deep.

I’m sure hoping on the JGR bike was not a total shock to his system, I would place him 8-12. Judging by his posts, he’s very hungry to get going again.

Hard to see him in the top 10. Start naming guys and there’s 10 guys that could podium

I think he'll make the main, but top 10 at Tampa? I'd be very surprised. I'm thinking more like 15-20.

Hope he surprises me. That'd be a cool story.

Understood. Field is stronger, but I think he'll bring that 2018 Tampa vibe.

It's an interesting comparison on who’s podiumed (through 6 rounds) in 2018 and 2020:

2018 - KR94 / ET3 / JB51 / JA21 / BB4 / MM25 / CS14
2020 - " / " / " / " / " / AC9 / CW2
