Two sides to every story, but fucking hell I hope he's either not pedalling that line or he does better than he did on JGR!

Barcia talk is 30 mins in.

So nothing about Barcia tho? Pretty rude dumping on JGR if that's the case...
also: they really want to blame him taking a factory ride rather than doing it all by himself? that's a big pile of horseshit right there. plus they say webb is the one to watch because they heard a lot of positive feedback about the '18 yz from a view riders but same doesn't apply to barcia? he won on the old model. sure he won't tun into a championship contender but a couple top 5 finishes are possible. And that's what he was hired for, he isn't the number 1 guy in the team the anymore unlike at honda and jgr.
Going back to what you were talking about with working with a factory team. Is there a difference between being a part of the factory effort as opposed to the JGR effort?I’m not asking you to be negative or anything, but I was just curious. It’s definitely very different. I went from factory Honda to kind of a satellite team and back to a factory team, so it’s very different how everything works. You know, I think it’s hard for these satellite teams to beat these factory teams because the factory teams have so many more resources and so much more experience and stuff like that, so I think, for me, stepping this way has been very eye opening. I think about some things that I wasn’t able to do on a satellite team and it kind of opens things up a little for me and I can see maybe there was some stuff that I was missing out on we were missing out on the last few years

more talented than Deano but that's just my opinion. I also hope he does great!
Regardless, poor bastard has had a shit run with injuries, pretty difficult to get a run on with that.
