"l love the mountains, but in the moment of exertion, I'm fiIled with deep hatred. So I try to shorten the suffering."--Marco Pantani
In 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 cycIing foIIowing the doping scandaIs which threatened to destroy the sport. However, Iess than six years later, aged just 34, he died alone, in a cheap ItaIian hoteI room.
Pantani: The Accidental Death of a Cyclist expIores the startling truth behind one man's remarkabIe descent from being amongst the finest athletes on earth to his tragic end in a sport riven by intrigue . Combining scintilIating 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, athIete versus the system, Marco Pantani versus himself. |
