Interestingly, the 28-year-old is a free agent when it comes to the US with no deal currently signed. And although he intends to race the highly competitive 450 class, which he says he is more suited too, he will still be a sought-after signing.
But donāt expect to see him line up for Supercross come Anaheim 1 ā he is all-in for motocross and motocross only, telling MotoOnline.com.au, “I want to focus on motocross, generally because itās my passion more so than supercross. “While I am pretty good at supercross, I would rather just focus on the outdoors at this moment in time ā getting an outdoor contract is the goal.”
Taking to social media, Ferris added: “Not 100 per cent sure on the how yet, but itās time to make it happen.”
