No, how about because both Short and Alessi were both much, much better when on different brands and when on 450's. As a Veteran rider I love the idea of the 350, but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that both of these KTM 350 riders are having a much harder time this year.

Both Short and Alessi looked much spunkier this week than in previous races.

AC would qualify less than 800...

And the 350 thing is as old as the"where's jlaw/hepler/I love 2 strokes" threads. We get it... The people on the 350 did better on 450s under different tents. Ktm isn't going to pull out a 350 anytime soon and here's why...

In some ways, the old saying, what wins on Sunday(or does descent anymore) sells on Monday. Now hear me out, even though this isn't a new discovery... So Ktm tries out the 350 and the best they can get is some top 10s from short, and alessi to make mains. Then, hypethetically, they try the 450... Magically short is top 5 or podium and alessi is fighting for top 10s. That'll make the 350 look stupid and Ktm look stupid for trying it.

Now that is not to say that the 350 could pull some good results under the right circumstances: lites rider just moving up? Hear me Hansen?) due to they are usually within a second from the top 450 guys, a good start that could come from great pick and reaction time, a slick track making the extra horse power almost useless(although the extra torque helps the rear wheel stick) as well as a host of other possibilities and that thing could be really good.

However, were talking small horse power machines so giving up 100cc's is huge. Lighter rotating mass and overall bike, doesn't make up for that loss in horsepower. Ktm is bringing a knife to a gun fight... Or at very least a knife to a sword fight.

Whatever Fish - Look back at the beginning of the 2010 Supercross season -- Through the first five events, Shorty never finished worst than 5th in the mains and even had at least one heat win. Until he fell late in the race at San Diego, while in second place and on the 18th lap, I might add, he was totally competitive and in the hunt. True his results fell off after he got hurt in that fall, but you can't say that he shouldn't be riding at a higher level! 2+2=4. Bears ass.
