I think this kind of vehicle-supply maneuvering is exactly the hidden main battlefield of the Grand Prix. Whether a satellite team can get its hands on factory-spec equipment can change the whole season's results. Steiner not budging on the latest spec even with a rookie aboard is the right call. Without a fast bike, skill never gets to shine.

With the new 850cc era approaching, it feels like every team's maneuvering is heating up.

If even a rookie gets to ride the latest spec, there's a real chance they could deliver results right out of the gate — exciting.

Steiner's an ex-F1 guy, so he strikes me as someone who'd be sharp at negotiating.

It's natural for a satellite team to want factory spec, but I worry it could cause friction with the works team.

Some contracts have clauses that keep satellite and factory teams from having equipment differences, so I wouldn't worry about it too much.

Securing factory spec even for the rookie must have taken some pretty bold negotiating.

They could push hard on this because KTM also had its own reasons for not wanting to let go of Tech3.
