WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP
VOL. 52 ISSUE 11 MARCH 17, 2015 P67
Briefly...
day and felt great. I needed to work
on a few things and they came to
me instantly in the first practice. I'm
just happy with how things went. I
rode confident and performed how
I thought I should be. That's a huge
step. I'm happy with how I rode even
though we didn't quite get in there. If
I make just a little more progress we
should be in next weekend."
Broc Tickle was the top scoring Su-
zuki rider in eighth on his RCH/Soar-
ing Eagle/Jimmy Johns Suzuki Fac-
tory Racing RM-Z450. Even though
he came through with a good result,
Tickle admits he was hoping for a
little more. "I was really looking for-
ward to coming to this race," Tickle
said. "Last year I got a fourth here. I
knew there was going to be ruts and
what not and I enjoy those, but today
I struggled a little with speed. I tried
with each practice to get better and
we made some improvements. In the
main event, I think I started around
12th or 13th and worked my way up
to eighth and stayed there. The track
was tough tonight. I wasn't flowing
and that's what it was all about here.
I'm a little frustrated because I know
I can excel in these kinds of condi-
tions. I'll regroup and see what we
can do next weekend."
Dustin Pipes made his first main
event of the season on his Tpj.com/
Fly Racing Suzuki RM-Z450. "In the
LCQ, I was able to work my way up
from eighth to finish fourth to make
my first main," Pipes said. "I'm stoked
about that. My Suzuki was working
great. I'm so excited to make my first
main. I was a little nervous. Hopefully
next week I can get back in and ride
a little better."
