IMO, the whole "Extreme/Hard Enduro" thing is where the spectators and sponsors are going. I bet EWC is gone in 3 years. There are only 50 riders entered in most rounds and no amateurs are allowed to ride. Not a good strategy to attract riders.
As long as they have 50 of the world's best riders competing they should still be able to manage to run it. 50 riders isn't that much less than the road racing equivalent MotoGP or even the WRC car rallys.

The changes that happened with this years competition caused a lot of riders from last year to drop out so if KTM withdraw maybe they can get back to the same format that they used last year with the 3 classes instead of 2.
