Now that the season is over, here is where we would put the riders at season’s end. The whole tranching thing is about momentum, below Tranche I. Marquez has earned the right to maintain his ranking from last year for obvious reasons, despite not having competed in 2020.
Tranche I: Marc Marquez; Joan Mir; Franco Morbidelli
Tranche II: Jack Miller, Alex Rins, Pol Espargaro, Miguel Oliveira, Johann Zarco, Takaa Nakagami
Tranche III: Andrea Dovizioso, Fabio Quartararo, Valentino Rossi, Maverick Vinales, Brad Binder, Cal Crutchlow
Tranche IV: Danilo Petrucci, Alex Marquez, Pecco Bagnaia, Aleix Espargaro, Iker Lecuona
Tranche V: Tito Rabat, Brad Smith, Stefan Bradl
(Riders whose names are lined through are not returning in 2021.)
A little gratuitous eye candy.
