Deacon Paice will feature in the 65cc and is as equally happy to have made it into the Australian team.
"I‰Ûªm really excited and proud about getting the chance to ride at the WJMX Championships for Australia," Paice said. "It‰Ûªs going to be an honour to ride alongside the other boys from WA and the other states in such a big Championship.
"I‰Ûªm also looking forward to watching some of the world‰Ûªs greatest race. I‰Ûªm not really sure what to expect but I‰Ûªm looking forward to the experience and promise to give it my best shot I‰Ûªd really like to thank all fellow riders, friends and family and my amazing sponsors for all of their support over the years".
"A special thanks to my Dad for the late night bike preps and for always being right next to me on the line. As always I‰Ûªm super grateful to Mandurah City KTM, Surge Fitness, Marshall‰Ûªs Power, FTs Moto-Works, Sixty 7 Mx, JMS, NR Metal Recycling, Paiceway Stoneworx, Bergman‰Ûªs Autos and Smartline for your continued sponsorship".
Parents Michael and Nicole Paice are fairly new to the sport and are excited about the news.
"We are very proud of Deacon and his efforts and achievements (both on and off the track) that have got him onto the Australian team. We could not have imagined that his first gate drop at WJMC would lead him here"
"People often ask us how we can watch him ride the way he does but we know how much he loves the freedom of being on a bike and know how much fun he has when he‰Ûªs riding with others. He is still young and learning and he is very lucky to have amazing influences in his motocross life and they have all helped him get to these World Championships. We don‰Ûªt know where MX will lead him in the future but we do know that he is having the greatest time of his life right now and he is honoured to represent his country".
