That's good news as I'm placing my order today with one of the largest dealers who had 155 allocations for the 2020 MY

You should confirm with dealer how they are handling people already on the list for a 2020. It is conceivable that a large number who fall short of a 2020 actual allocation will be ahead of you for a 2021.

Idr if caught it on video at Carlisle but when I spoke with Tadge about C8 events etc he informed me that the 2019 almost 2yr run would not be happening again. They are going back to a more traditional model year. So change over around July would be my guess. I'll look for videos.

Most dealers will carryover those with unfulfilled 2020 orders to 2021 automatically.

I would think they would look at when the deposits were placed to determine who gets priority for 2021.

In other words, if someone placed a deposit for a 2020 in January of 2020 and their order went unfulfilled, they would not get priority over someone who originally placed a deposit for a 2021 in November 2019.

That would seem fair to me.
