      Let \((x,y)=\frac{a(t)}{c(t)},\frac{b(t)}{c(t)}\) be a rational curve, with polynomials \(a,b,c\). The class \(\mu\) is defined as the degree of the smallest triple \((A,B,C)\) of polynomials such that \(Aa+Bb+Cc=0\). The sets of parametric curve with fixed degree and fixed class have been studied in \textit{D. A. Cox, T. Sederberg} and \textit{F. Chen} [Comp. Aided Geom. Des. 15, 803--827 (1998; Zbl 0908.68174)], where it was also conjectured that every rational curve of degree \(n\) and class \(\mu<\lfloor \frac{n}2\rfloor\) is a limit of curves of degree \(n\) and class \(\mu +1\). Here this conjecture is proven.
