Looks like it could be good:



Coming June 8th.

I want to watch with my wife, she got in to the Drive to Survive F1 show and now watches F1 races .. maybe she will enjoy watching bike races with me afterwards.

Great!!

My wife is just the opposite. She cringes when I watch drive to survive, and one more bike related thing that comes into the house or on the boob tube might just spell the end of us!

So... the companion piece to Icarus?

I don't think so, icemilkcoffeetroll.

This looks cool - I'm definitely looking forward to it.
I enjoy Drive to Survive and it's made me a lot more aware of F1, though I still don't really watch that many of the races.

I'm a casual fan of pro cycling - I watch most of the TDF every year, and catch bits and pieces/highlights of the Giro and spring classics. I'll be curious to see if this ever goes beyond the TDF itself - seems like a big part of the F1 Drive to Survive show appeal is how they follow teams across an entire season and dive into lots of off-track drama. I'm sure there will be plenty of that here as well, but it's just a 3 week snapshot so it feels like we will be missing a lot of the backstory.

Also noticing that UAE Team Emirates didn't participate in this, so no Tadej Pogačar. Seems crazy that they couldn't get them on board - his story is very interesting.
Also seems like a lot of lost ad revenue for that team's sponsors. I get that UAE itself might not care, but there are lots of other sponsors on that team that do.

That's exactly my thought. I enjoy Drive to Survive as well because it gives me the side of Formula One that usually doesn't get the spotlight. I expect the TdF series does something similar. I'm excited!

I’m on the 3rd episode, I like watching behind the scene stuff and not just the glamour you see during the race!
