"I'm undecided in the 4 rider mandate for manufacturers. Sounds like an attempt to create more rider seats at the manufacturers expense and to hopefully lesson the two or three bike races for the front that have been happening ala Spies/Mladin. Racing for the manufacturers just got a lot more expensive."

What do you think about how that might eliminate some brands as well, such as MV Augusta and BMW?
