He did seem to fade which is strange because I don't think fitness was a problem for him in the GPs. His speed was impressive for much of the race though .

He was pushing really hard first part of race. Great that he gives all at track and that will only make him faster in future.

X2. Reguardless of how fit he may be, he can still get pumped up. Even happens to Eli and I say it is safe to say he is fit.

I am stoked on the guy and look forward to watching him continue to inprove.

he has the speed. love it. yes once fitness is there, he's going to be a new kind of french rider. long term prediction, he challenges webb in the 450s once CW is the champ.

It was interesting to see.

We saw he gave his max so he knows now what remains to be done. I think he learned the most at this race. Starts are there but speed wise i think he is a bit slower than the 4 in front of him in the championship, he compensated with engagement, which resulted in getting short in stamina. Maybe he had the win in the 15 laps format. He will get there.

He's one of most improved riders in the 250f's for sure.
He's getting SX figured out real quick, and judging by his finish at Daytona, which is more like the outdoors, he is definitely going to be a factor in the Nationals.

I'de like to sell that anchor he dropped half way through the race for its weight at a scrap yard. I think he got excited and blew his wad early last night. He was hauling those first few laps and probably didn't take a breath for 8 minutes. If he keeps running up front he will get that part figured out. I would imagine his fitness is on par.

The dude didn't exactly drop anchor... the two who won/ could have won were in another league. It took most of the race for Cianciarulo to catch him. Serious skills. I predict a race win in the outdoors.

Not sure what his SX background/ experience is, probably not that much maybe ... That given, he is really doing good mixing it up with the top guys, although at times he looks abit on the edge. In someways also this not so bad, because it shows the guy is defo really trying hard and he is not afraid to hang it out there ..

I don't think he's making too many friends on the track and that will bite him in the ass. He needs to calm down and have some respect, or he's going to get punted A LOT.

I usually don't like the french riders much, but Ferrandis is agressive and backs it up with speed. Thumbs up for me.

He's a lot better than I thought he would be indoors. Also a lot more in control.

I agree with this. I knew he was good, but figured we would not see it until outdoors.

I was rooting for him to win last night!

If he can rub elbows with Herlings I don't thing he's worried about the guys he's racing now

I had a front row seat at the bowl turn before the dragons back last night. Dylan and Baggett had me in awe at the speed they carried through the bowl turn onto the dragons back. Very impressive.

Why do we care? He is taking a job from an American Rider. I was waiting to see him get punted. I dont want him to suffer any injuries, just stay off the podium over here. This is MERICA.

What a stupid/ignorant post. He came here to race the best. Its not his fault that he got offered a ride because other guys arent as fast or dont have as much potential as him.

Whats stupid and ignorant is your instant kneejerk to take it personal. You can say how awesome he was, and I can say Frenchy Go Home. Its forum, and its not your forum.

You can say Frenchy go home if you want, but it doesn't mean you're not a dumbass for saying it

Well we'll see. He's already led more laps than any of the other Star racing guys have this year though. I think a bet against him winning a race outdoors is a foolish one

He's pretty much the same as in GPs though, always very aggressive. Remember what he did to Herlings at the French GP last year off the gate Pinch

Dylan is fast though, he passed Jeremy Martin in Latvia at the MXDN before Jeremy crashed and hurt his ankle in the heat race. He wasn't at Herlings' level in MX2 but he wasn't scared to give him a shove, so he won't be intimidated by any of the US guys. I don't think he will be popular with his fellow racers with his aggression but when he's on two wheels he will be fast and a threat to win or podium especially outdoors. (if he can stick the humidity there).
