It's back! And it covers the 2023 race. I'm digging it so far. Seeing the seat post cam during sprints is amazing.

Thanks for the reminder, I've been looking forward to this one. I didn't watch the first season but with the greater focus on Pogacar this time I am looking forward to it.

For anyone who has watched it, what do you think? I didn't love the first season, it was okay, but made some funny choices of stories to focus on. The trailers for Season 2 seemed to lean into tragedy (Gino Mäder's death in Tour de Suisse) and doping suspicions, and I found them off-putting. But trailers are often different from shows or movies, so maybe it's fine.

With something like this series, I assume they filmed everything they could live during the race but then have to make a show out of whatever they have. Picking teams & stars to follow around would be a dicey thing, I assume, as the race plays out over the 21 days.
