I think you might be on to something. He even had a hard time getting along with his French riding coach at times and DV may be considered a opinionated person at times. So yes people may be done with him when he hasn't done anything lately. By the way I enjoy listening to both Dylan and DV but not sure I would want to put up with them daily.

I don’t even know how these teams afford racing.

I concur... Based on their original budgets. I think I'm saying, it's remarkable that nobody has figured out how to increase the budget for another bike for a guy that is a true title contender. A 1 bike team to 2 or a 2 bike team to 3... It seems Suzuki is the only one that has made the effort, at least that we know about. The series is better with DF on the line racing...

I guess the complaining, blaming the bike, and overall bad attitude only take you so far.

It's remarkable to me... A true title contender, still with no confirmed ride.

Nope. I heard a rumor Blake Baggett was trying to get him a construction job

GasGas need to dig deep and find the money to sign Ferrandis. He is a Championship calibre rider. His 450 SX results have not been good but still....a happy Ferrandis will be good.

He’s waiting on his source to get a better cell signal…

But did you ask Cooksey, Hopper, and Ping…🤣

I will straight say I have 100% zero clue what you’re referencing. I asked Matthes and a couple other guys, none of us have a clue what this is referencing. 😂

Yessir. I got this info unsolicited yesterday just by asking "anything new" to someone I have known for close to 30 years. So, I decided to make the post to try and "flush out" those who may know and make their living in this business to see if there was any validity to what I heard. Last night, after reading some comments posted yesterday by a major media member or 2, there was a cryptic clue that lends credence to what I heard. If the dominoes fall the right way and a retirement decision is made, we should be in...

I have no clue if anything happened...but I will say that Ferrandis has a ton more likelihood of bringing Husqvarna a top-5 finish in SX and outdoors than Craig has.

He only knows a rumor, not a for sure fact. He doesn’t want to go full Gypsy just for clicks. I would love to hear the rumor but I respect the restraint.

Belief in what he's capable of, marketability, brand history, easy to work with. Also under a contract that already extended into 2024.

Knowing your worth and what any living human will pay you are two entirely different matters most times. Trailer parks are full of people who know what they are worth. Unfair or not life is how othérs perceive you, not how you perceive yourself.

It’s too bad he couldn’t secure a deal with Beta or Triumph. He’d be a great addition to those new teams.

How much money should I put on AC retiring???

Maybe he wants too much money? People act like all these guys are getting paid the same salary or that the teams have unlimited budgets. If for instance Jett demanded $30m a year from a team next year, he would probably also be without a ride.

Really? No team likes a guy who constantly gripes about a bike or about the team…all the while drawing a paycheck from that team, and riding a bike that represents the best that team can build. I’m a Ferrandis fan…but not a fanboy like you are, apparently. I might have used a harsh term that offended you…but the truth is, DF might need to tone down his complaining if he wants to sign with a team with good enough equipment for him to compete on effectively. No team wants to deal with a diva.

I hope Ferrandis ends up on HEP. Two Suzuki’s regularly in the top 5 against the big factory teams would be epic, but mostly because he may enjoy racing again. Worked for Roczen.
