It's kinda sad to see but it seems to me that Honda is just using Nicky as a poster boy, and nothing else. He doesn't seem to get the "team" support as other Repsol riders, regardless who that may be. But if Honda has something to market in the states, then it's all, "hey Nicky baby, how's it goin' , say you got a minute or so?"

I don't know, maybe I'm wrong, but that seems to be the feeling I get.

Honda isn't known for treating it's riders very well. They're of the mentality that the bike matters more than whoever's riding it.
