I guess Honda has too many irons in the fire and MotoGP is the one out of the center of the flame.

It has been odd to see Honda so slow to figure out their grip issue. Of course from Honda's perspective, Marquez did win the championship last year for all of his complaining of lack of grip. Meanwhile, it does seem as though Yamaha and Ducati are improving (more so Ducati) while Honda flounders. Honda just this year changed their motor from a screamer to the big-bang to help out with traction. It seems that of all the manufactures, Honda relied most heavily on their very trick in-house ECM software to control the motor/wheel spin/wheelie/anti-jerk functions. Now that everyone is on the spec or Unified ECM software, Honda has really struggled to figure it out.

The racing has been great though. Assen was fantastic across all three classes!!
