I'd also be remiss if I didn't mention how jaw droppingly brilliant that Peterson cover is!
That Dominator is amazing.

I'll try being nicer if you try being smarter.
They did, and team-up arcs often resulted in one Rider handing the show over to the other. Ichimonji/Rider Nigo replaced Hongo/Rider Ichigo rather abruptly in Episode 14 of the series because Hongo's actor, Fujioka Hiroshi, was badly injured while performing a motorcycle stunt for the show and would be out of commission for more than six months. When Hongo/Rider Ichigo returned to the series many months later, he was gradually eased back in while the show continued to feature Ichimonji/Rider Nigo as the lead for a while longer. After Ichigo resumed the focal role full-time, Nigo made periodic guest appearances in extended story arcs, including the series finale.

I always thought it ended up more mutual based on how often you tout it. Periodic guest appearances after the original comes back to take back his "rightful" role basically is what happened.
After the original series ended, Ichigo and Nigo almost always appeared together in the sequel series featuring the later Riders (V3, X, Amazon, Stronger, etc.). On rare occasions, they appeared separately as guest stars on the later Riders' series, but from 1973 onward, the general rule of thumb has been that Ichigo and Nigo appear together.

I always feels weird when I see the dominators because of how clearly racist inspired, or intentionally racist, their design is.
They have a kind of natural tie in to The Flash/Bart/Jenni because The Dominator's invasion of Earth is what the Tornado Twins died fighting. Said sacrifice being (at one point in continuity) an inspiration for the Legion of Superheroes.

I took a look at Marchs cover again and now it all makes sense with April's solicit. Showing the heads of Jay, Bart and I guess a cave man speedster. As well as the different time periods. Prehistoric, future.
Also Flash has white eyes on the cover so its Wally. Cant believe I missed that.

So he wants to quit but stuff happens and he travels to other eras of Flash. At the end he will probably understand his importance in legacy and make a comeback?
