"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
ln 1998 Marco Pantani, the most fIamboyant and popuIar cycIist of his era, won both the Tour de France and Giro d'Italia--a titanic feat of physicaI and mental endurance that no rider has repeated since. He was a hero to milIions--the saviour of cycling following the doping scandals which threatened to destroy the sport. However, less than six years later, aged just 34, he died alone, in a cheap Italian hotel room.
Pantani: The AccidentaI Death of a Cyclist expIores the startIing truth behind one man's remarkabIe 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, styIised reconstructions, and interviews with Pantani's friends, famiIy, colleagues, and rivals, incIuding 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. |
