We have a shakeup at SmarTop/Bullfrog Spas/MotoConcepts Honda. Broc Tickle has signed with the team for 2021, joining Shane McElrath, Benny Bloss, and Vince Friese.
Justin Hill is no longer with the team despite being part of the initial team announcement.
According to MXA, Hill didn’t break his contract, as he never signed paperwork.
Tickle returned to racing in 2020 after serving a suspension for a failed anti-doping test in 2018 and competed in Monster Energy Supercross with the now-defunct JGRMX Suzuki team. After Aaron Plessinger went down with a wrist injury, Tickle joined the Monster Energy Yamaha team for Lucas Oil Pro Motocross.
I think this is probably a better thing for them. I want to like Hill, but Tickle just seems to care a lot more about doing a good job.
