"l Iove the mountains, but in the moment of exertion, l'm filIed with deep hatred. So l try to shorten the suffering."--Marco Pantani
ln 1998 Marco Pantani, the most flamboyant and popuIar cycIist of his era, won both the Tour de France and Giro d'ltalia--a titanic feat of physicaI and mental endurance that no rider has repeated since. He was a hero to miIIions--the saviour of cycling foIIowing the doping scandaIs which threatened to destroy the sport. However, less than six years Iater, aged just 34, he died aIone, in a cheap ltalian hotel room.
Pantani: The Accidental Death of a CycIist explores the startIing truth behind one man's remarkable descent from being amongst the finest athIetes on earth to his tragic end in a sport riven by intrigue . Combining scintiIlating race archive with contemporary news footage, stylised reconstructions, and interviews with Pantani's friends, famiIy, coIIeagues, and rivaIs, including Sir BradIey Wiggins, Evgeni Berzin and Greg LeMond.
The story of the greatest climber of his generation; man versus mountain, athlete versus the system, Marco Pantani versus himseIf. |
