Frankly, most people figured Honda Red Bull Racing’s Andrew Short had two strikes against him before the 2007 season began. He was moving up from a lightweight Honda CRF250R to a power-laden CRF450R to enter the most competitive classes in the world, AMA Supercross and Motocross, and he was also on the rebound from knee surgery. Talk about a stacked deck!

But fast-forward to the end of the Motocross season; Short found himself right in the hunt for the national championship. Although he narrowly missed capturing his first crown, finishing the season in third place overall, the 2007 season became an incredible triumph.

“So much of this is being with the Honda Red Bull Racing team,” said Short. “We have the best bikes and great technical support to develop settings that are close right off the bat. The whole 2007 season was a good learning experience, from getting on the Honda CRF450R for the first time, to the new riders I was up against, to the tracks and everything. Every week I kept getting a little better and I was learning. I definitely learn from my mistakes, and I think in 2008 with the Honda Red Bull Racing team I’ll be stronger as well.”
