Exactly
It is the KTM ladder type thing, they do not want two guys on the 450 team out scoring each other, maybe why Roczen felt like going to Suzuki, though I think they were going to offer him a 450 ride in 15.
Certainly it is a factor with Cairoli in MXGP, de Dycker is a dev rider and always seemingly on dev bikes and this year Searle is only on a 350, the same bike Toni binned after a few rounds.
