FIM WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP
VOL. 52 ISSUE 3 JANUARY 20, 2015 P41
Briefly...
BTO Motorsports KTM's Andrew
Short had another great start and
grabbed the holeshot in the main.
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 go-
ing 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."
Andrew Short's 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 yet to be
confirmed.
It was a frustrating day for AutoTrad-
er.com/Toyota/JGRMX Yamaha's
Weston Peick who was coming
off his best finish ever with a fourth
place in the 450 class a week ear-
lier at Phoenix. Unfortunately, during
that race, he broke a bone in his foot
and had a screw surgically placed
in the foot during the week. He was
told that he was good to race, that
the bone would hold together and
that it would just be a matter of how
much pain he could endure at A2.
Well, the bone didn't hold up and it
broke again during the first practice
session, putting an early end to his
day. Peick will see a specialist and
won't try and race again until he's
one hundred percent healed.
Ken Roczen does it again!
