It's looking like a lot of good riders are going to be out of jobs. Due to the money and sponsorship drought, I think we're going to see a lot less big rigs and more privateer box vans in the pits. I think there will be more riders on more stock based bikes. Less A kit suspensions, less practice bikes, less heavily modified engines and parts being used for longer periods of time. I also believe that a lot of the teams that remain are going to downsize and cut expenses. Maybe one 250 rider for east and one for the west. Perhaps no fill ins for injured riders. We very well may see an even larger gap between the factory teams and everybody else.

The season ended like 4 days ago, maybe give it a little while to shake out? The good riders will all get rides, and nobody will show up to a race in 2021 in a f-ing box van.

I personally know a number of "riders" who will be showing up in box vans. Guys like Benny Bloss, Jesse Flock, Chase Marquier, Dustin Winter, Dalton Dyer, Tyler Lowe, etc, etc, etc. I'm guessing you were meaning to say the "factory" riders won't be arriving in box vans?

I see this is the obligatory quarterly post about privateers and box vans.
