BTO Motorsports KTM’s Andrew Short had another great start and grabbed the hole shot in last night’s Monster Energy AMA Supercross main at Anaheim II. Unfortunately a mistake a lap later in the rhythm section launched Short into a berm and ended his night. The veteran was a little slow to get up, but fortunately for Short he was sore, but okay.

“I had a great first lap in the main and then made a mistake in that rhythm section and it threw me down quicker than I thought,” Short said. “I didn’t actually think I was going to crash. It kind of snuck up on me and slammed me into that berm. Pretty sore, obviously my thighs and my hips and shoulder. It wasn’t the easiest of crashes, but I’m very thankful nothing’s broken. Come back to fight another day.”

Teammate Justin Brayton didn’t fare as well. Brayton missed the main after crashing out of his Semi race.  Early reports were of a broken collarbone, but have yet to be confirmed.
