Fuck me, talk about high expectations for elliot! DAO have always struggled in bsb. Has jonny always been team manager?

Results win prizes.

Tough calls and a bit of smashed dreams. Great to see the honest report from several sides.

Sometimes was very kind and friendly when I met in the team garage at Oulton last year. Fantastic team great people.

Can't wait for the 2025 BSB season, and I am so pleased you will be racing.

Interesting comments. As a leader sticking to your focus and managing a team of individuals needs a clear head and determination. Doesn't always make you popular but no one is confused as to direction. Think this applies in many walks of life. Every success to the new team and to Brayden and Danny

This has been a fascinating behind the scenes series. Thank you.

Hopefully the team watches this an take on board what needs to be done and attitudes change

it's lovely seeing an owner with such passion for the sport. Sommai seems to be totally engaged with what the team are doing and with a new bike and new riders, I can see them doing well. Good luck all.

Good luck Lee-Bob and Josh Brookes working for that toxic knob Johnny.

LETS GOOOO DAO!!! SUPPORT BROOKES AT TT <3

Great series of video's,good luck in 2025 & good luck with the future for Danny & Braydon👍

I’ve really loved this series. Thank you. Can you tell me what the title song is please - it’s fantastic!

Great insight , honest and heartwarming yet brutal in its desire to win. More of the same , great production too, just need more coverage of the season

Wishing you all the very best for the 2025 season 🙏

wont be long till johnny will be saying how rubbish brookes is

Thanks for inviting us to be part of such a great documentary 🙏🏼 congratulations to all involved and best wishes to Danny & Brayden 🫡

I worry Johnny has arthritis? His finger only points at other people.

Great series and insight. LJ14 a great signing for 2025. Good luck.

Looking forward to seeing the teams progress in 2025 🏍😃

Alot of people couldnt work in a toxic team regardless where you work - feel for Danny

Management is very poor. Blaming Danny for not riding a bad bike well. Danny is a proven winner . Brandon first year wtf. Change manager and the team will do better. He’s to busy blaming everyone

Love love love this series

Danny Buchan is a top rider.

Johnny and the bike is the problem!!! Not Danny …

It’s obvious the issue, the manager!

Superbikes are not easy to adjust to I watched a little presentation with Ben spies on them His take was sorta if they are right and you push them they will respond If they aren't right and you push them They will b the worse pig you've ever rode and will give you nothing regardless of their power and straight line speed and you'd have a quicker lap on a well tuned stocker On slicks It's evident from the isle of man I do understand it's not a short course and some of the bumps and track conditions (damp shady patches road patches changing grip sections )(+ weather differences in separate sectors ) dont cater to a superbike allover the lap We've seen some spectacular laps on superstock bikes Ben says riding a superbike is like riding a tyre iron that's super quick But setup is everything Braydo is a very competitive superstock circuit racer He is NOT a superbike rider he is learning it can take up to 4 years if a rider is steady and the team are having strife Yes he has had a season or a tad more on one But one thing I know about this young man is he adjusts steadily It seems as if he's faltering and he will make a lil jump towards success with the right team He chips at things He is by no means a do or die and rash character His superstock track record speaks for itself( I know )close but no cigar If these people have not got the patience time and money to nurture these attributes or run a stocker in their team for him it's their loss And he's better off gone Trouble is now he has to reset and adjust again he just has not gelled With that bike this year someone give that young man a good superstock fireblade to ride next year trouble is it needs to start happening now pls There's been people along his road that have written him off even in superstock They changed their tune once he started getting podiums and the odd win This team with Johnny at the helm Needs results fast but it's like they retard their success through some unusual decisions I must say though the owners have looked after him as a human untill this point shame it had to end on the no contact basis Good luck braydo Good luck Danny Go DAO get your shit together again Hope the Honda and by rumour Brooksey do you justice He knows his stuff trouble is hes been riding a BMW You may all b lucky

Very open and honest series, credit where its due this has showed the ugly side of the sport a little to where the hard and cut throat decisions need to be made, which I think from reading the comments most people don't like viewing. Been a greats series to watch hopefully they keep it going into the 2025 season.

Careful, these lot have a habit of threatening legal action if you say anything too upsetting. So glad these lot are showing themselves for what they really are finally. It’s taken a few years but constantly destroying peoples careers putting people out on shit bikes is finally catching them up. Terrible team, terrible management with even worse owners!!

It’s very naive to think your gonna win a championship on a cheap Kawasaki, dao will never win anything with that atmosphere in the camp. Johnnys gotta go.

Wow having watched the whole series, its pretty clear the team atmosphere is dead, johnny being the main issue looks a total nightmare to workwith, whats his credentials in racing or team management? Danny would have been a good fit for the honda too, pity 2 careers tarnished by a arrogant self important 🔔 end putting out a shit bike.

If they need a complete change, surely Jonny has to go? Just look at PBM, FHO or even Honda UK, perfect examples or team management with regards to love and respect for everyone in the team regardless of a rider leaving. Toxic work environment due to toxic management style.

Please keep this going next year! I wanna see the episode when Jonny tells josh Brookes he's not good enough!! Jonny is gonna learn a lesson that day! 👌

I've watched every episode and that team manager clearly has an issue with Danny Buchan!! For a young lad I don't understand how he's a team manager but he obviously doesn't respect anyone so nobody is gonna respect him. And the results show that....

Wow, maybe instead of blaming and slating the riders maybe you should take a look at management. It’s the same in any business if the leadership team is wrong then there will never be results. The owners of the team need to make more changes if they want results. All you have done is ruined riders reputations in the sport especially when Danny was a top 5 championship rider in the past. Poor management by Johnny and a shit bike is what the problem is.

The reality of the BSB paddock. Brutal, bold & honest . What an episode! You could've edited a 'safer' episode, yet you shared the full reality of it all. Choosing to show warts & all as a fan is very much appreciated! GREAT series. Thanks DAO 👊🏻

I have really enjoyed this series. It seems to me Jonny wants to change many things rather than sort the problem or appreciate that his expectations are too high for a new team. The Data guy goes, then returns. The team changed bikes for next season but it was not the fastest Kawasaki, now the riders are gone. If the owners want success maybe they should look at replacing Jonny. As I said a great series but not sure this episode shows the team in a great light and maybe sponsors would think twice about being associated with them.

Each of these videos shows precisely why the team has lacked success on short circuits. Terrible leadership, non supportive and arrogant. Watch all the other BSB videos, FHO, Rapid Honda, OMG… all fully support their rider. They succeed as a team and lose as a team, not like this.

How on earth is he comparing Braydon’s rookie season to Nesbit and Cook? Those lads have had previous seasons in support classes racing these unique tracks. Awful team atmosphere in parts of these videos, listen to Alan Gardner’s podcast with Joe talbot’s expectations for 2025 and see how a championship winning team manage their rookies.

Dam, that was difficult viewing.... but dont stop, amazing series.

No idea who Johnny is other than his role as team manager. Stating a rider has got worse over the season after viewing the data? As manager, why weren't you viewing the data and comparing it after every race ? Horrendous thing to do publicly. I'm guessing you've done both riders a favour and that they'll flourish with the support of a good / professional team manger.

As good as this series has been I can’t help but think it’s not doing the team any favours. Loved Jonny on chasin the racing but watching this has changed my mind about him

Ive watched all of this series so far, you can see why it didn’t work with either rider, the atmosphere in the team is horrendous, a happy team is a good team and when the blame is being thrown around it certainly is a happy camp. They certainly won’t be getting any better in 2025 if they carry on like this with the guy who runs the team. I’m suprised anyone would want to work in an atmosphere like that. When you hear off people like Alan at OMG you can see why he’s successful and these aren’t.

Great insight , thank you for making this series , looking forward to seeing DAO progress next year .

The data didn't lie Danny, no talking your way out of that season

Jackson!

Honda!

Lee Jackson I think

Storm Stacey ?

Given the right environment Danny is a good rider, a race winner! Highlighted in episode 1. Sadly this series has shown to many inconsistencies in the bike and team. Danny of course played a huge part of the season but I don’t think he was ever made to feel confident enough in bike or the team. Ironically the team have changed both riders, the bike and no doubt some of the crew for 2025!
