Fullnoise: Can't do that winners aren't quitters!
Cachia: I was getting pretty embarrassed with myself! But you know I got into the main with Mozzi boy - Two Aussies!! Pretty stoked about that.
I got another good start but I had crashed halfway through. Ended up around 16th I think so it's not the best. But hey it's a stacked field at the moment and the competition is tough. Other than that I came away safe, healthy and pretty happy with it. Onto the next one.
Fullnoise: A definite result improvement from last round of the Monster Energy SX at Anaheim.
Was there much time spent testing leading into the round here at Oakland?
Cachia: I rode twice, I actually went to Vegas with Mosig and watched Cirque Du Soleil. So that wasn't too bad hanging with Mozzi.
Hey he even cooked me dinner a couple of nights! He is a good cook, we like good food so we eat like King's. Stirfry's, pastas, tuna pasta's - pretty much athlete food to fuel.
Fullnoise: Looking at the track here at Oakland is has by far been the most technical in the series to date. What are your thoughts on the layout??
Cachia: Yeah the track was tech, tight, rutty, and soft. Some sections were soft and grippy and other sections would go hard and dry.
I guess the tracks the same for everyone but you know I couldn't really get a flow. The best track so far this season that has been properly built is probably Phoenix and A1. From there this track here at Oakland has been the poorest built one - half assed.
Fullnoise: Heading back to Anaheim for Round 5, a place that hasn't been overly kind to you for the first two stints. Could it be a case of 3rd time lucky for you this time around?
Cachia: I am hoping because it's just not a good feeling not making the main! I need to pull me shit together and get in solid laps.
Anaheim hasn't been nice to me. So far the only rounds I haven't made is the Anaheim ones. It's one of those rounds where I am just going to look forward to because I need to redeem myself from this Anaheim curse.
Fullnoise: When can Australia and your fans see you touching back on home soil?
Cachia: Straight after San Diego I go home to God's Country. I miss my dog, I miss my girlfriend, I miss my house and I miss my Country most of all.
Plus I get treated like royalty over there, and in America I get treated like Joe Blow!
Fullnoise: Congrats again Josh, Thanks, All the best heading into A3
Cachia: Cheers thanks
