From what I've seen firsthand, this confession is heavy. For a guy in his eighth season to say 'not having fun' tells you how badly the V4 development is struggling. The man who turned down Suzuki and Aprilia to stay loyal to Yamaha has finally moved. I think I understand what it means that Honda poached Albesiano.
