Tickle corrected the problem in
moto two and grabbed the hole-
shot, although Tomac passed
him before the end of the lap,
leaving Tickle in second at the
end of lap one.
"I knew it was going to be
rough and gnarly," said Tickle. "I
could tell by the first two races
that we've had, they haven't re-
ally done much track prepping
and I kind of enjoy that because
it kind of separates everybody.
But today was solid, got fifth
the first moto, fifth the second
moto. Felt strong today. The bike
worked really well. The whole
team did a great job with Ivan
early on and improved today. I
felt like I was trail riding out there
and I wasn't trying. I was just
passing guys left and right. My
starts could have been a little
better. I think it maybe would
have helped me a little bit but
stoked throughout the weekend.
A good way to come back from
last weekend."
Seely Sizzles
Troy Lee Designs rider Cole
Seely has bounced back in a
big way after the opening round
with his best finish of the sea-
son in fifth overall at Thunder
Valley Motocross Park. Seely
has steadily improved with each
race, and in fact, each moto he's
raced, Seely has earned a better
result than the last.
After working hard for eighth in
moto one, Seely shot out to the
front early in the second moto,
eventually settling for fourth.
"I definitely feel like I can
be on the podium, but I'm just
happy I'm making progress each
time I line up on the gate," said
Seely. "We'll see if we can make
any more improvements this
week and hopefully I can land on
the podium here soon."

skipped the sighting lap in the sec-
ond moto to make adjustments to
his bike. Last week at Glen Helen,
points leader Jeremy Martin suffered
a similar situation but actually missed
the start of the moto. Baggett's situ-
ation was not as serious as Martin's,
having decided to make last-second
adjustments to the forks.
Chris Alldredge

Craig mixed it up
for a while. Craig
was impressive
in his first race
since last year.
