I don't understand why Ferrandis to Triumph hasn't happened yet. Two year deal with a third year option. Test and develop the bike the first year and then go racing in 2025.

For some reason i think that would be the perfect match for both Triumph and Ferrandis.

Savatgy already has that deal with Triumph...

250 outdoors first year also while testing the 450, no need for two 450 riders until 25...unless they just decide to go with one...I think that they are still trying to make the Factory Connection thing work...looking for money

Sounds foolish for a team like FC to even step into the ring without having the money to seal the deal. Maybe Ferrandis has an unrealistic idea of what he's really worth, I don't know. But, if a team I was looking to sign with was having to "look for money" this freaking late in the game...that wouldn't give me warm & fuzzies at all. I'd look elsewhere. Better that than the team to have to pull out later for lack of funding.

You have a total misunderstanding....They are trying to put together a team, they meaning FC and DF, it has nothing to do with trying to put together money to pay Dylan, it has to do with raising enough to go racing for an entire season with competitive equipment...

Perhaps. I didn't know FC was trying to put together a team surrounding Dylan. I get it now.

He’s 250 outdoors this year, and is 450 next year with the release of the bike so I’m sure he’s helping with development

I believe he wanted something more concrete, a base already in place that would provide the support to win

Unfortunately, the teams that could do this are already full...

That's wishful thinking. We all know dam well Honda has tried the squeeze every little thing out of that engine for the past 2 years. The only way to get more is if Honda completely redesigns the motor (new Gen).

Other than DF 14 what other top tier rider remains unsigned ? 
second tier riders who’s unsigned 

getting close to Nov seems like most everything should be set in stone

Different Matti Jorgensen.

Both are from Denmark, but the one that rides for AJE moved to the US as a kid. 

The other one still lives in Denmark, has a wife and a kid. Still rides and won the Danish championship. 

Matti Jorgensen that lives in the US:

 

Mathias Jorgensen that lives in Denmark:

What does him not gelling with the KTM have to do with Triumph?
