Josh Cachia has secured a ride with his JDR KTM team, to race for their American outfit J/Star JDR KTM, filling the position left vacant by Matt Moss.
Rumours started to surface on Friday in Dubbo that Cachia would be sitting out of the opening round of the 2012 Terex Australian Supercross Championship with plans to head to America as soon as next week.
Cachia himself confirmed this news early on Saturday Morning during the riders track walk in Dubbo and later explained how the deal come about and the big life changing decision he had to make.
"A door opened, Mossy sort of jumped ship and it left a door open for me" Cachia commented, "I got the offer about three or four days ago, and I have been stressed out ever since"
"I had to decide if I should take this opportunity of a life time, but at the same time I have my family, my girlfriend, my dog and my house which are all things I care about, more than motorbikes, my family always comes first." explained the 20 year old.
"I wanted to make sure everyone I care about here is happy before I go. I spent a lot of time speaking to people that I respect and look up to searching for advice.
"Almost everyone I have spoken to have told me to take the opportunity with open arms and that is what I have decided to do." he added.
"This decision has been a lot more stressful than I thought it would be. If this had happened when I was sixteen it would have been easy. Though I am only 20 I already have a lot going on for myself here in Australia."
