JKD, thank you for your post. I was honestly logging on here to create a similar one. I couldn't agree more. This season makes for absolutely terrible TV. Yeah, the last two races have been great action... FOR TWO LAPS!!! Then it's been a complete bore feast. Sure, if you're a MM fan, it's euphoria. But is it really? If he takes Pole and First Place in every race, is that exciting racing? Yeah, the writers and announcers will have a field day telling everyone how it's the most dominating performance of all time, and it would be. But where is the drama. Right now, this season is barely worth watching. Honda has single handedly ruined a sport & event that I look forward to in years past. Is MM a great rider? Obviously. Is he also on the best ride in the sport? You tell me. Honda pursued it's own agenda with the fuel restrictions and engine limitations. They've created such a lob-sided advantage for themselves, it's hardly worth tuning in to watch. This advantage is exacerbated by the fact that they also have a great rider in MM. Put MM on the Yamaha Machine, or Ducati, if he's still dominate, I'll shut up. But he won't be. Take last season, it was very evenly matched. It ended with Lorenzo taking 3 wins in the last 3 races. There were Honda tracks and Yamaha tracks as it was described. Fast forward to this season. Tracks that were "Yamaha Tracks" now slightly favor Honda. Tracks that were Honda tracks are now Honda Runaways. What's changed in a few months? Either it's A) the new limitations placed on machines, or (B God came down and touched MM on the forehead, giving him riding skills never seen before. Everyone knows what the answer is, but have stopped taking about it. With the deepest pockets on the grid, Honda has proven it's the best motorcycle manufacturer on the planet right now. Great, Manufacturing Experiment OVER! Let's move forward, past these absurd restrictions, and onto better racing.
