Seems it's still not on UK Prime.
I wonder if they've done something daft like dub it with Yorkshire voices and then released it wouldn't go down well like last time.

I watched it last night, OK if you like reading subtitles as it’s in Spanish.

Saw the first episode. Marc is certainly the most driven GP rider of this generation. If he ever does have to stop I'd be a bit worried about him if couldn't find another outlet.
The programme itself was a bit like previous GP thing Amazon, it's lacking narrative. The backstory of the injury hasn't been really done justice from watching it, it seems to go from 2020 crash, a bit of explaining how the arm got refucked and then to 2022 season start and eyesight problems after the massive highside. If you didn't know anything about Marquez you'd never know about his wins in 2021. Fuck knows maybe they just didn't film him them.
It's a bit amateur tbh, a bit 'I Superbiker' with budget dramatic music and I think they've sort of thought just filming Marc was enough. Sometimes you need a bit of scripted footage to hold it together.

Well after watching the lot I must say it didn't convey Marc's struggle that well. It was for want of a more pseudo-type description 'boring'.
Dorna need to employ whoever makes Drive to Survive. I'm watching season 5 and although the actual racing was utter shit, it makes it appear quite interesting. Motorcycling always seemed more characterful than F1 but I must say the current generation are a bit like those chain coffee shops that Phil doesn't like.

I watched it over the weekend, not too bad I suppose, glad I didn't have that much to do or I'd have regretted it.
Best parts were trying to work out where in Madrid he was, except when they showed him and his family walking round the park next to my house!
Surprised I haven't run him over on my mountain bike yet.

Oh and by the way, a lot of it is subtitled here too because all the family dialogue is in Catalan, which nobody else in Spain really understands.

Actually I think dubbing it with Yorkshire accents and regional phrases would have made it more entertaining. Ay up Marc yer bloody bugger.
