Yes, there is a chance that the turnout for 2020 Masters will be low and lower competition for medals and jerseys. But, that low turnout will also keep USA Cycling from hosting the event in the first place.
It's my understanding that hosting a national championship is expensive. Elite Nationals is run at a loss and it's Masters and Junior Nationals that are the money-makers (the profits of which cover the losses of Elites). So, if there is a hint that there will be ultra low turnout for Masters and Junior Nationals, they it stands to reason that they might bag all of the National Championships.
...and host them via Zwift Roller Races
Zwift needs to get better about standardization, sandbaggers and cheaters first.
