Motul Pirelli Suzuki team Manager, Jay Foreman has confirmed that he has secured the services of Matt Moss at the last minute to ride for the team at the upcoming Australian Supercross Championship.

Moss will line up this Saturday night in Dubbo in the 450 class with the team hopeful that he will also join them full time in 2013.

"Matt was out of contract and he was pretty keen to come and ride for us, so we took advantage of the situation" Foreman stated.

"We are hoping to have him stay with us for next year, that was our plan and also Matt's motive in moving over to us.

"With his current team scaling back and becoming a 250 team in 2013, Matt was looking to ride a 450 and he said he was also available for supercross as well, so we worked things out and he is riding with us." Foreman added.

With the move happening so close to the beginning of the championship, team manager Jay Foreman has wasted no time spending time with the 2011 Australian Lites Supercross champion, with the past two days spent on the test track with a little more time planned for later in the week.

"I have been working with Matt for the past two days, we have another full day tomorrow to finalise a few things and then we are done and ready to go"

Matt Moss is no stranger to the Australian Suzuki racing team, winning the 2009 Australian motocross championship with the team in the Lites class along with the 2008 and 2009 Australian Supercross championships, before controversially being rewarded second place in the 2010 SuperX championship after initially being awarded the title.

While Moss has spent the past few day's testing with Foreman, now team mate Todd Waters opted to spend the final part of his preparation for the 2012 championship at home in Queensland after he returned back to Australia after his successful Motocross of Nations campaign.

"Todd headed back up to Queensland shortly after the Des Nations, he grabbed his Supercross bike and headed home to pound out the laps up there." Foreman explained.

"We did some testing with Todd before the Des Nations and he was happy with his set up and just needed to spend some time riding Supercross" he concluded.

Matt Moss and Todd Waters will join British rider Steven Clark who will be riding in the lite class for the Motul Pirelli Suzuki team during the ASX championship.
