Why it's time to combine MotoGP and WSBK

As more race calendars collide, as they did last weekend, Toby Moody asks whether it's time to consider whether motorsport is overloading its fans. And where does motorcycle racing fall within all this? Is it finally time to combine the sport's two world championships?

Last weekend was a bumper weekend of motorsport. MotoGP at Silverstone, Formula 1 at Montreal, World Superbikes at Misano and Le Mans 24 Hours meant fans didn't get off the sofa for both days. Petrol heaven for some but overkill for others, and that includes motorcycling as a whole.

It's pretty obvious that I love motorsport, but if I was at home last weekend I wouldn't have watched all of it because I do actually like to do other things during a weekend at home.
