Did the MotoGP Riders Union ever get formed?
Might be time for a riders union if Dorna expects them to race on street circuits now that they're owned by Liberty Media.

What a win! Jets have dominated City for their first ever win against them.
It really should have been a 0-3 win given that joke of a penalty, so they were even better than the score suggests.

That's never a penalty. Referee has had a howler there! Tash Prior's arms are literally in front of and against her body! A joke... the games gone... etc.
Jets have once again had several good opportunities but haven't taken them.
Hoping for a great Jets second half. ✈️
