Yesterday, BTO/KTM’s Andrew Short flew to San Jose to get his injured shoulder fixed after a practice crash. All we know is what his wife, Jacki Short, posted on Instagram. Jackie wrote, “29 took a digger on Monday and banged up his shoulder. We flew up to San Jose last night and will be fixed up shortly by Dr. Ting!.”
From the sounds of the post, it’s hard to know if the veteran will be on the line for the Anaheim 1 SX, but it sounds like 2016 will be the last hurrah for the #29. Jacki went on to confirm that 2016 is expected to be Shorty’s final year on the starting line. While Andrew will be missed, I cannot see him being someone that will stay too far away from track in retirement. We wish Andrew a speedy recovery and look forward to watching his so-long tour in 2016.
