| Use of the same race number on two different bikes during the same season has been avoided.
This has been deliberate.
This year is the first with two classes and on a mixed grid the different coloured number boards help identify the different classes not only to trackside officials but also to spectators.
Having identical numbers could confuse things, commentators just want to associate a race number with one riders name during a race and while we have combined grids this is how its likely to remain.
This also how New Era do things which is why some entering the SV/F400 class may have to change their number so as not to class with somebody else.
