Red Bull KTM Factory Racing has confirmed Broc Tickle will join Marvin Musquin for the 2018 Monster Energy AMA Supercross and Lucas Oil Pro Motocross championships.

Tickle, formerly part of the now defunct RCH Racing outfit, missed the second half of this year’s outdoor series with a shoulder injury, however lodged a significant amount of respectable results prior in both disciplines.

The former 250SX West spoke of the signing, expressing his excitement of not only working with the team, but also renowned motorcycle trainer Aldon Baker.

“I’m really looking forward to the opportunity to work with Roger, Ian and the whole Red Bull KTM Factory Racing Team,” Tickle commented. “With the success both European and US teams have had in recent years on the new KTM 450 SX-F Factory Edition, I’m really looking forward to the chance to race the KTM for myself.

“The results and numerous championships they’ve earned speaks volumes for the brand and I’m really hoping to make the most of this awesome opportunity.I’m especially excited to train at Bakers Factory with Aldon Baker and alongside my new teammate Marvin [Musquin].

“This is the first time in my pro career that I’m in an all-encompassing training program where riding coaching, fitness training and riding alongside some of the fastest guys in the sport are all a part of my daily routine. I really want to take full advantage of everything being offered and show what I believe I am capable of.”

Tickle will make his debut with the factory squad at the Monster Energy Cup next month, before taking on the unique Red Bull Straight Rhythm the follow week.
