Five Minutes With Fletch continues this week with former factory HRC, KTM Factory Racing and Monster Energy Yamaha rider Andrew Short.
Short has had a stellar sixteen-year pro career, during which he earned over 50 podium finishes and nine wins.
After retiring from professional motocross at the end of 2016, Short worked as a team advisor and brand ambassador for Factory Honda HRC before making a big transition to compete in rally racing and take on the ultimate rally race—the Dakar.
After a steep learning curve, he became competitive in rallying and even took his first win at the 2019 Rallye du Maroc. He raced for the Rockstar Husqvarna and the 2020 Dak Monster Energy Factory Yamaha rally teams.
We chat about Loretta Lynns, battling Mike Brown for the win, his career highlights, and turning pro while still at school.
I also quiz the Fly Racing athlete on Southwick vs the Daker, living out your dreams and schoolboy dad highs and lows.
Special thanks to Andrew Short for the interview.
