JDR/KTM Factory Racing‰Ûªs Josh Cachia finished a fighting fifth position in Wanneroo‰Ûªs fourth round of the MX2 MX Nationals, Australian Motocross Championship, on Sunday, 13 May.
In the series‰Ûª first visit to WA since 2009, Cachia raced to fifth overall to maintain the same place in the championship standings on the team‰Ûªs lone 250 SX-F for the round, despite suffering from appendix concerns on race day.
The Victorian fought his way to fourth in moto one after leading early on in the race, then he raced to sixth in moto two and an admirable eighth in the final outing before being transported to hospital for observations.
Cachia‰Ûªs team mate Ryan Marmont was forced out of Wanneroo after undergoing hand surgery earlier this week, while Brenden Harrison continues to recover from pre-season surgery on his leg.
