Amazon Prime Video has announced it will produce a docuseries following the MotoGP World Championship. 

Set to launch in 2022, the show will be produced by The Mediapro Studio in partnership with MotoGP owner Dorna. Eight 50-minute episodes will feature the likes of Marc Márquez (Repsol Honda), Valentino Rossi (Petronas Yamaha SRT), Fabio Quartararo (Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP), Maverick Viñales (Aprilia Racing Team Gresini), Francesco ‘Pecco’ Bagnaia (Ducati Lenovo team), Joan Mir (Team Suzuki Ecstar), team directors, and many more.

It will have access to the training sessions and pit lane boxes, as well as other areas, in an effort to show the personal side of the sport. It appears to be following in the footsteps of F1’s highly successfull Drive To Survive series on Netflix, which recently announced a fourth series.

Barry Furlong, VP Prime Video EU, said: “Moto GP is a demanding, impressive and highly followed sport and we are certain that this Amazon Exclusive production will not disappoint its fans. We are excited to continue Prime Video’s collaboration with The Mediapro Studio to create quality content with top stars from the sports world.”

In this case one of triumph and sacrifice in both sporting and personal terms, which we are making thanks to the unique access that, for the first time, the protagonists of the championship have given to our production team.”

Manuel Arroyo, Dorna commercial director, said: “The close collaboration between all parties and this project with Mediapro and Prime Video will allow its success. Throughout this intense season, that we ended the past weekend in Valencia, the work between Dorna and The Mediapro Studio has been constant with the idea of extracting the best and most outstanding moments of each Grand Prix of the calendar.
