Why are motor racing drivers not grouped with cyclists in this atlas?

Motor racing is motorized rather than human-powered, so its drivers sit under Motorsport instead.

This subcategory groups athletes who competed as cyclists, across road racing, track racing and related disciplines. Athletes whose competitive sport is motorized rather than human-powered are grouped instead under Motorsport, since the dividing line is human-powered versus motorized competition.
