Consistency on Display as Dylan Ferrandis Pushes Through the Field at A2

Corona, CA, January 24, 2026 - Troy Lee Designs Red Bull Ducati Factory Racing delivered a night defined by grit, consistency, and creativity at Anaheim 2, as Dylan Ferrandis showcased determination and speed aboard the Ducati Desmo450 MX in a stacked 450SX field.

Ferrandis opened the day strong in qualifying, posting a 6th-place finish in Qualifying 1 with a 1:03.507, clocking his fastest lap on the final lap of the session. In Qualifying 2, he continued to show speed with an 8th-place time of 1:00.908, placing him 8th overall in combined qualifying and lining up for Heat Race #1.

In the heat race, Ferrandis maintained consistency and composure, finishing 6th, earning a solid gate position for the main event despite not having an ideal pick.

When the gate dropped for the main event, Ferrandis launched well aboard the Ducati Desmo450 MX. However, despite a strong jump, he was forced wide and became buried on the opening lap, crossing the line in 18th. Refusing to settle, Ferrandis went to work immediately charging forward on lap two, moving into 13th place, while also recording his fastest lap of the race.

From there, Ferrandis delivered one of the most consistent performances of the night. His lap times remained solid and unwavering throughout the duration of the moto, never dropping off, while he consistently clocked faster laps than three to four riders ahead of him. His push through the field ultimately resulted in an 11th-place finish, marking his first result just outside the top ten this season - but one that told a much deeper story.

While gate position remains a focal point moving forward, Ferrandis' starts showed promise, and the team is confident that stronger qualifying results will translate to better gate picks and earlier race positioning - a crucial advantage in today's ultra-competitive 450SX class.

Overall, Anaheim 2 highlighted Ferrandis' consistency, endurance, and relentless drive. The performance reaffirmed that with improved qualifying and cleaner starts, Ferrandis has the tools to contend up front as the season progresses.

Off the track, Troy Lee Designs once again raised the bar creatively, partnering with Paramount to promote Scream 7, bringing horror to life in signature Troy Lee Designs fashion. From a hand-painted Ghostface helmet to a full-scale pit presence, the iconic horror figure made its way onto the Supercross stage. Ghostface - horror's most enduring icon - was reborn through the Troy Lee Designs paint shop and took to the track at Anaheim 2.

“That's a wrap for A2. It was a little disappointing because we've been working so hard lately and I felt good today,” Said Dylan Ferrandis. “I had the speed, the bike is awesome, but the result on paper is not good. At the start, I decided to play it safe by choosing better ruts over a better position. I had a good start, but I was so far outside and got blocked in the first turn. I was pretty far back and did everything I could to come back and gave a big fight. We need better starts for sure, but we figured out a lot today. I think now we have a good base for the rest of the season. Honestly, I feel awesome - my body feels good, the bike feels good, and my speed in the whoops was back this weekend. With a better start, we can fight up front for sure.”

Anaheim 2 may not have delivered the final result on paper, but it delivered confidence, proof of pace, and a foundation for success - as Troy Lee Designs Red Bull Ducati Factory Racing continues to build momentum heading into the next round of the Supercross Championship.
