Product Description
"I love the mountains, but in the moment of exertion, I'm filled with deep hatred. So I try to shorten the suffering."--Marco PantaniIn 1998 Marco Pantani, the most flamboyant and popular cyclist of
his era, won both the Tour de France and Giro d'Italia--a titanic feat
of physical and mental endurance that no rider has repeated since. He
was a hero to millions--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 Accidental Death of a Cyclist explores the
startling truth behind one man's remarkable descent from being amongst
the finest athletes on earth to his tragic end in a sport riven by
intrigue . Combining scintillating race archive with contemporary news
footage, stylised reconstructions, and interviews with Pantani's
friends, family, colleagues, and rivals, including Sir Bradley Wiggins,
Evgeni Berzin and Greg LeMond.
