Andrew Short was solid as expected. He’s such a staple in the top 5 that it’s almost a given that he’ll be there. This year he may have more trouble though, as the addition of a few guys named Chad Reed, Josh Grant and Ryan Villopoto will likely knock him back to more of a top-10’ish guy. That’s a testament more to the plethora of fresh talent than a cut on Shorty’s abilities on the track, as he’s shown here negotiationg one of the seemingly infinite ruts in the corner following the mechanic’s area.
