My thinking here is that Honda has had a shit bike for years and it just hasn’t shown because Marquez was riding it beyond the limit. The same rings true to me for Yamaha to a lesser extent with Quatararo riding to his only MotoGP world championship. Outside of those two riders, neither bike has been truly competitive week in and week out for years. I see concessions as something to help the engineers more than the riders which is why I think they may be due for both of the Japanese factories.
