I'd say the bigger issue is they focused on Ikki and Vice for so long that now they don't have any story left for them until the rest of the overall story hits a certain point, so they HAVE to focus on other characters.
Feels like they're kind of spinning their wheels with Ikki and Vice at this point but that's not uncommon in the leadup to the Final Form arc.

Sakura may as well be the real secondary Rider at this point considering the level of treatment of her and her plots versus, say, Daiji. I think it's clear who Kinoshita is more invested in writing at any rate.
