Dylan Ferrandis' First Day with Phoenix Honda
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 вер 2024
- The last major piece of the 2024 Silly Season puzzle has been put in place. Dylan Ferrandis has spent his first day with his new team, Phoenix Honda...and we were on hand to document it.
When the vibe changes, the results change. I think it's more likely that he will have a much better season just for that reason, and look at what Ken was able to accomplish under the same circumstances. Also mad props to him for not throwing down the towel and retiring too.
I agree, besides Dylan is good for the sport - he is a top 5 rider. Wishing him the best for 2024! 👍👍
The difference with Kenny is that he left Honda on his own accord and purposefully went around trying the different bikes. Ferrandis just straight up didn’t have a ride. Im glad he’s racing though and found a place where he can be happy. Hopefully he can turn around his SX results around, but he did decent in Outdoors, he had a couple races where he showed heart and was pushing it, unfortunately we care a bit more about SX than MX in America.
He did. I thought Honda moved on from him.
Im surprised at how much a vibe change helps some of these guys' ala Ken. And also you can take Eli, who looked done at Kawi, mental-wise. Then he started talking to press more and riding great once he got out from under whatever was bothering him at Kawi.@@MuskCow
@@anthonyegnor6347 nah honda wouldn't make the changes ken wanted to be comfy on the bike so he left
The fact he doesnt have a factory ride right now is crazy to me. Also surprised the Austrians didnt snatch him up
So is Monster going to continue to sponsor him? I know monster isn't a team sponsor but I saw he still has it on his helmet, so I was thinking he may keep them on as a personal sponsor.
Can’t believe his agent couldn’t secure him a factory ride. I’m just so happy he’s not retiring! Love to see this. Let’s go DF14
There are none available
@@jarrett4510 That and dylan hasnt done anything in a long time. No factory teams would want him as of now.
@@ollyver155 I mean he got 2nd in Mx this year. But his inability to get threw the sx season the last 2 years didn’t help
it's not the agent who put the rider on a team brother. it's the results in the races.
@@arthurcardooso Malcolm Stewart won a 250 supercross title and couldn’t get a ride sometimes certain guys don’t get shit it’s weird.
Fire your agent!
This guy is the 2022 outdoors champion multiple 250 champ and there are so many rides open that even Benny bloss could find a damn factory ride..
DF is way better than Anderson or Adam C, he is better than Webb (outdoor and indoor combined)
Who’s really better?
Sexton
Tomac
Roczen and Jett ?
That’s it
He looks good on the bike. I have a good feeling he’s going to surprise a lot of the naysayers this supercross season.
Everything has a shelf life.
Just haveing less pressure for a while can do wonders. At the factory teams the pressure has to be insane when the results aren't what they're supposed to...
Makes me want to get a Honda and start MIG welding that frame
I hope Honda is on board with sending some factory love his way, both he and Phoenix Honda deserve it!
They had a bit about that in Racerhead last week. Sounds like HRC builds him a works bike and rolls it out under the Phoenix tent. He works with Ziggy from factory direction for suspension. So should be a great bike I think. Less salary than Star or joining HRC I guess, but probably his plan is to make that salary gap up in bonuses by having a bike that he likes more and gives him a better shot at landing on the box
@@cropolo2573 Nice! Thanks for the 411.
Want nothing but best for this young man..
It’s cool to hear his honest review of the feel of the bike. I think next season he has nothing to lose and his French finesse compliments the nimble Honda
Its crazy that he won the outdoor championship just 2 years ago and STAR was already ready to push him out. This sport is BRUTAL in business.
push him out to take Webb...not better team play pilot... with Tomac good luck to manage that
He will be on a mission to make the Blu Cru look bad, this will be fun..
I bet he beats webb more than once next year!
Ferandis has the speed to win , when he gets the Honda dialed in , watch out 😊
Thank god, this guy can win at any time and I hope he stuffs em all 😎✊
Glad he got a ride he’s been a favourite of mine for years. Go Dylan!!! So underrated.
Guys a stud for sure
Seems like hes taking the roczen concept, i hope it works for him, he's a seriously capable race winner. And a fresh start will recharge his results. Stay healthy dylan!
They are stoked to have him. We all know he's fast.
Me too. 👍👍👍👍
Sooooe sick for everyone involved in this and thank you vital for the coverage
❤ SO HAPPY FOR DF14 HE CAN WIN 🏆 HE HAS HEART AND DRIVE LOTS OF EXPERIENCE HE LOOKS GOOD ON HONDA SO HAPPY FOR HIM HE CAN DO IT
This is at 421-MX in NC.
I love that Phoenix Racing is a NC race team.
FERRIS and ROCKZEN on there own smaller programs
will be interesting season
Thats going to be cool to see. I don't care what bike he is racing, DF14 is riding. The Sport needs him to stay in it for a few years or more. It seems he just wants to race, without drama.
So sick!! Can't wait to see what he can do on this bike
Won’t be much. All downhill from here.
@@HWG-wm8ld why the hate?? that team is proven to have a solid bike. too much hate in this sport
@@HWG-wm8ldstill will be above you though
people like you drag the sport down just being a hater for no reason, try constructive criticism might help @@HWG-wm8ld
@@HWG-wm8ldRepeat what you said? What was that?
A happy Frenchy 14 is not good for everyone else dude definitely has that racers heart. Fosure barks in his helmet when passing
It may not be a factory ride, but it looks like the Honda fits him better than the Yam. Can't wait to see how this is gonna go!
Have you ever noticed that guys dont vibe with the honda thrive elsewhere and guys that don't thrive elsewhere thrive on the honda?
How does the Honda fit him better after only seeing him on it for a few minutes on a smooth track? At the end of the season he was starting to get healthy and rode the Yamaha like he has for years. He said he helped with the 23 yz450 and said it was so much better than the 22 which was the same as 21 he won on. But got hurt several times and then blames the bike he help develop that Tomac was smoking everyone on. Plus Tomac won on the 22. Both completely new bikes back to back for Tomac..
@@mxr248 because he never talked of the Yam the way he talks of the Honda, in French or in English. But we know that he wasn’t comfortable on the Yam. Only in the last couple of races did it start to get better, but still not good.
@@alexbarou go back and look up when he talked highly of the 21 that he won a championship on. Then the 22 wasn’t any different and he got hurt right away in supercross. Then got hurt again all rider error. Then the talk of the new 23 that was in the works they asked him about it before it was even released and he said it was so much better than the previous models. Also he was faster on it. I like the guy and all but he went backwards since his trainer was no longer with him. Also him getting hurt was all him. Also on the 22 he was out most the year but showed up at des nation and was fast as hell. Also the end of this season he was 2nd or 3rd at times. So not the bike. We will see how it goes. He has never blamed himself when it was clearly him.
@@mxr248If you are implying that the bike is the same from 21-23 then you clearly don’t ride.
Maybe a good fit?? He sounded excited about the bike! When He's healthy and on,always a contender to be on the box!!
I have a strong feeling he has a good year because he is having fun, and then we see him on a new factory team like Ducati or triumph in 25?
It is nice to see the *14* back on the RED bike as it was under *Kevin Windham & Cole Seeley*
Dylan va retrouver une motivation !!!
Pas de problème pour 2024!!
👍😎🇫🇷🏁
Never been a fan of him, however the fact this guy did not get a factory ride I wish him the best. I hope he gets some podiums. There are teams that could of used him.
Awesome too see ..Good luck to him .
As long as he’s comfortable and gets help from HRC, he should be able to fight for podiums. Roczen going to a satellite team shows it’s possible, because they are able to change the bike a lot more than a factory team.
Roczen is on factory Suzuki
@@fiddysent2798maybe factory breaks and suspension . susuki no longer produces factory parts and twisted does hep suzuki motors . all off the shelf parts . it’s their premier team but not a factory bike .
@@jacobshred67the only true factory bikes are in Europe, with the production rules in the u.s there are no true factory bikes anyway
I’m happy for him look how good Kenny did on a B•Team I think Dylan will have less weight on his back and be able to enjoy racing more. When you feel comfortable the results will start to show.
I think Kenny‘s team is more of a C team based on his teammates performances. Kenny is just that damn good. You could put him on 125 and he’d be upfront.
@@IvarEriksson83 Just like you could put Kenny's teammates on a Star Yamaha or HRC Honda and they'd still struggle to even make a main event.
Glad we're gonna continue seeing you at the races Dylan. Love your riding style and late race charges. Now let's put it to those HRC boys (and all the other factories) and show them what they missed out on!
not sure i want to see him beat Our Aussie boys on the HRC all the time, but giving them something to think each week would be a great thing; Dylan deserves much better than what he got from Yamaha after his phenomenal Championship year when he roosted all the big names; if Jett or Hunter can't do it, then hopefully Dylan will.
I'm excited to see how he gels with the Honda. He looks comfortable and sounds relaxed.
Good luck this coming SX / MX season.
Good for you Dylan wish you the best 👌 👍
I wouldn't worry too much about dylan on that honda. I'm sure phoenix has some access to hrc for information and possibly some special parts. And he's on factory connection suspension and they know Hondas.
This Illinois boy is a CHASE fan all the way. But this guy's career is not over. 👍
Best of luck to you this year Dylan.Show the m what you got.👍
If he starts getting good results, HRC will start sharing some factory equipment for sure, I think he'll kill it on this bike
I seriously hope Dylan does well ! Riders don't forget how to ride? They just struggle with their state of mind! Sometimes your mind won't be quiet!
Love the retro look !!
Frenchie looking fantastic on the Honda! Let's go!
Lets go DF14 ! Looking good on red
looking good!
The #14 looks so much better on a Honda!! And The gold rims are fukn RAD!! 🤙🏻 Hope Dylan has an awesome year with the new team!!
Already talking about how Honda is so good no and he didn't ride to his full potential for Yamaha
He won the 2021 outdoors championship, what are you talking about
He did get an outdoor championship on the Yami, so he didn't do too bad on that bike.
What are you on ?
@@Phantom-nx2jz everybody knows that but he couldn't ride last year because of the bike. Because the frame was different and he didn't get used to it until the end of the year. Come on now
@@Familytube90 He is talking about his attitude. Dylan is already making off all the bad performances as bike related right off the rip first video.
Everyone take note... Notice he is running Pirrelli Tires.. Hopefully he will not switch to Dumblops. It would be nice to see actual Race Teams test and compare different tire brands as well . Such as Maxxis and especially the absolute best performing tire out there. Which is Hoosier.
Let’s go 421MX 🔥🔥
Dylan is such a beast. I really hope this works out. He’s better than half the dudes with factory rides.
Dylan looks sick on that red bike.factory rides are overrated anyways go ask kenny.its about that feeling, I had it once before.if he gets that back he's gonna be very dangerous and on top he has revenge for all the teams passing on him 😲 he wants to make them pay this man has heart
I can't believe Dylan didn't get a factory ride, a lot of teams are going to be mad they didn't take him.
Strong people don’t put others down…
They lift them up
I’d rather be on the Honda than the Suzuki. Good for him.
He whined about a Star Yamaha for years!
He started to whine about the bike when Star decided that Tomac will be their top rider, built the bike around Tomac riding style...
That guy never quits. I'll bet a few podiums and at least a win or 2. 💰
Great to see him riding hope he smokes some of the factory bikes go dylo 🎉
He looks pretty good on the bike so far, can't wait to see him in race conditions!
So glad hes got a ride!!!
Shit, sounds like he likes the setup. Awesome. I wanna see him up there.
That’s a gay looking Honda that’s all I know
Looks comfortable
421MX in Yadkinville, NC.
He is happy he is off the Yamaha
Actually he's crushed , he wanted to stay .
Man #14 on a Honda looks so great 👌
Don’t sleep on him let’s not forget he came in his rookie season on a 450 and won the motocross championship just a couple years ago how quickly we forget I wish every single rider in the field the best of luck and may throughout the season and careers. The more riders, the better chance of growing the sport and let’s not forget when it comes to outdoors The Guy that’s in 40th Place dead last is still one of the fastest riders on the planet to qualify and make a national the same for Supercross The Guy that’s in 22nd Pl., dead last is also one of the fastest riders on earth, especially to qualify for a Supercross main event. More often than not the guy that’s in dead last would go to any local track and win not always but more times than not. Then you take the top five or 10 riders and look at the difference in speed from the rest of the field and you see the real superstars. like I said previously, I just wanna see all riders have a safe, healthy, season and career and watch the sport grow exponentially obviously, it’s my opinion only but I believe it’s not only the best motorsport, but the best sport. In the world every guy making a main event should be making a good living just like every other sport. I love seeing the guys like Dylan and Ken going to these teams like Phoenix, and progressive to watch them Succeed over the full factory teams, I would love to see Ty master pool, get a win and I also want to see Plessinger get a win this season. I understand the talent is just so big that it’s hard to get even on the podium let alone a win, but I think we’re in for a good season regardless.
Gold wheels make sexy sexier
Hopefully this move feeds him a much needed bowl of humble soup
You mean he was arrogant back in the day?
KDUBBBBBB vibes. Lesgooooo.
Awesome video getting his first laps and feedback on the bike
That helmet is sick
Hey Dylan ,you're in a much better place now , then in a place where a certain someone didn't want you to be ! #14 K-DUB's old number 👍😎💪
I am happy for him. I think he will do well on the bike.
Yes super stoked! Glad he's off Yamaha and/ or that team.
What is it with the French? I absolutely dig watching them ride! Starting with Vimond-
Great to see DF on a bike and a team. The POLITICS in this industry will forever hold it back just like NASCAR.
I'm glad he's liking his bike. I think that's the most important thing... obviously money, but sometimes you need a good bike to get a good ride(money)
He rides with his weight shifted back a lot. Jett is much more head over the cross bar. Interesting. A mix of old school and new school
This dude could ride a fuckin segway and still rip. No doubt he will be successful and glad to continue having him in the series.
Bike looks to be much lighter and more flickable than his Pig YZF450
YZ's among the lightest of all the 450's , educate yourself before making a fool of yourself.
@@2216sammy oh sorry the power delivery makes it feel heavy..
This is so weird to see. How he isn't on a factory team is madness to me. But glad he is happy!
Hope he goes out and does what Kenny did and prove a damn point!
Good for him, straight killer on 2 wheels
im nOt like dylan like bAm bAm . . dylan match at hoNda . . doNt suzuki just best ridEr cAn win with yelLow
Jed Drye had MX-421 in Yadkinville NC prepped for Frenchie !
Nouveau châssis, nouveau team, Dylan va rouler avec la tête vide ! Et vous verrez ! Je pense qu'il est capable de nous ramener un autre titre ! DF 14 never give up !!
Wish I could ride this good.....DANG.⚡️✌️
So the bike is great on that track...will they be able to adapt as well or better than the factory teams each weekend? Should be fun (if Jett doesnt walk away with it all).
Eli and Webb will not let Jet win, Trust me. They will make him earn his place in the sport. They WILL FIGURE OUT THE GATE DROPS AND HOKE SHOTS over the kid. Thats where he wins , they will stuff the kid. And ill bet he gets Bam Bammed and gets injured. If you want to bet on anyone bet on the Yamaha. Its now fine tuned and massive Hp, they will dominate because Xhase went to a Steel frame. So he will most likely get hurt from the whoops like Stewart and Craig. The KTM family of bikes are not good. Webb would of stayed. But Eli is coming back BECAUSE Chase left HRC. So Eli will win maybe 8 to 12 races this year. Trust me , he has a chip on his shoulders now. And will make Jet look like the Rookie he is !!!💯
@@Tow_Sr. Like Jett did not already earned his place in the sport... Mate just went 22-0 and won SMX.
@@macedhx yes because Chase got inferior bikes. And Eli wasn't there. I looked at Times from last year PER track and Eli and chase were faster. So he will find out real quick in SX he isn't The man !! He's a boy, that will get treated like a boy!!!!
How does Adam Cianciarulo have a factory ride but Dylan Fernandez doesn’t? Help this make sense
outdoor will be fantastic . DF14 vs JL18 ... coming from yz450F and its problems , he will enjoy CRF450R . Only ET3 could make yz450F look good other riders suck on Yamaha ......
a happy ferrandis is a dangerous ferrandis
It’s not factory, just Factory Connection…. That bike will be good enough to win.
Excited for Dylan!!
sounds lugging, like the early 2000's yamaha 450's too me
this looks exciting... l Personally like Dylan his got tons of style and rips cant wait for 2024
Gitty up. He has no excuses now. Suspension will be dialed. Would be great if he won every race. 😂😜
Looking good Dylan! Welcome to the red riders club.
He was unhappy with Yamahas suspension and now it looks like his comfortable again. Good for DF14. Good luck to the Frenchman.
Everyone hates but ngl he went the smart route he looks comfortable I said a comfortable Fernandez is a dangerous dude 😂🤘
Glad he got a ride. Good luck Dylan.
Bikes are so good nowadays, you dont need factory support necessarily, if the rider is comfortable is most important
He already looks better on that then the yz
I'm happy he landed at Phoenix, that's actually a great team if he's been trying to ride a Honda.
