Sporting figures, especially in America, seem divided into one of two camps. The first are the painfully flamboyant: tattooed, pierced, outrageous. Sometimes they’re brilliant, and sometimes they implode. At best they’re wildly uneven.
Then there’s the second kind: the athlete with the solid work ethic, the one who doesn’t hog the limelight, who just gets in there and gets the job done, event after event.
Honda Red Bull Racing’s Andrew Short is most definitely a sportsman of that latter class. A brilliant rider, he’s modest, soft-spoken, a family man and anything but self-aggrandizing. He’s also super consistent and blazingly fast, as his 2009 Motocross and Supercross seasons show.
Short knows that one of the secrets of ending the year with a wheelbarrow full of championship points is to finish every race, and to ride uninjured. Short’s Supercross season tells exactly that story: He scored points in every single event, only once finishing out of the top 10. In 11 out of the 17 rounds he was in the top five, and twice he stood on the podium. He ended the Supercross season in third overall. In the AMA Motocross outdoor nationals, Short was even more of a force, finishing second overall, scoring points in all but one race and standing on the podium nine times.
Short’s work ethic reminds you of another legendary Honda champion, Jeff Stanton, also a quiet rider who won his titles by dint of hard work and a never-quit attitude.
2010 is going to be a challenging year for many racers. With smaller teams, hungry riders and economic restraints, only the toughest are going to make it to the top. That’s just fine with Short. Because in this game, no one’s tougher.
