Was just thinking about the CRT teams in MotoGP and wondered why they dont just lump WSB teams into MGP somehow. Either the lot or just the top 2 or 3 teams from the last season or some such.
Quick search found this topic on MCN http://www.motorcyclenews.com/MCN/sport/sportresults/MotoGP/2012/April/apr1112-poll-should-wsb-and-motogp-be-merged/_/R-EPI-135944#pd_a_6127337
I mean I dont see the point of the CRT teams in the premier class really. CRT more expensive than WSB? I thought manufacturers benefit from r&d and exposure.
Ultimately this boils down to Dorna wanting more going on for more viewers/sponsors etc. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorna_Sports
