According to a post on his wife’s Instagram account, BTOSports.com KTM’s Andrew Short injured his shoulder in a practice crash on Monday. He flew to San Jose last night and will have an operation to repair the injury by Dr. Ting.
Also confirmed in the post, this will be Short’s last year racing. It has been rumored that 2016 would be the last for Short, who turned pro in 2001, but was confirmed today.
At this time it’s not known if the injury will keep Short off the starting line for the Monster Energy Supercross opener on January 9 at Anaheim.
We will update once more information becomes available.
