JDR/J-Star/KTM has confirmed its rider line-up for the 2013 American Supercross and Motocross season, the Australian-owned team fielding a three-rider squad for its third year in the US.

Malcolm Stewart will return to the team alongside newcomer Joey Savatgy and Australian Josh Cachia. Stewart and Savatgy will ride both West Coast 250SX and the outdoors, while Cachia will focus on the West Coast 250SX series.

Stewart, the 2011 Rookie of the Year, had an up and down season in 2012. His highlights were a fifth overall at the Lake Elsinore Motocross race and a fourth overall at the Las Vegas West Supercross main event.

Stewart is looking to redeem himself in the 2013 season where he is hoping to finish inside the top three in the West Supercross 250SX series aboard his KTM 250 SX-F.

Stewart will be joined by Savatgy, a newcomer to the team. 2013 will mark Savatgy’s first full-season as a professional racer. The multi-time amateur motocross champion is excited about joining the team and lining up on the starting gate at Anaheim 1.

The final member of the team, Cachia, has been racing for the JDR/KTM Team in Australia and is excited to test the waters in the United States. Cachia came over for the final outdoor round last season and suffered a crash that put him out of the running for a decent result.

Cachia is now currently located in California and looking forward to his first full-time supercross season. The Australian rider will race the West Coast Supercross series and then return to Australia.
