Pantani Film Full ~ Accidental death of a Cyclist *youtube

A good balanced film.

Certainly shows the tragic side of competitive sport. What I did find curious his mother seemed in denial and seemed to have almost conspiracy theories that it wasn't his own doing - effectively though in his younger years he had immense personal drive and didn't shy away punching above his weight. Think I will always remember him for giving Armstrong some deserved stick and an absolute head-ache for his bike builders.
 
Saw him after the last stage of the 98 tour. All riders were in a hotel for the press conference just across champs elysees. I wanted to take his autograph but only managed to get Bernard Hinault’s in the end.
 
I came across this book awhile ago. Okay read with some cool photos, but a little too much fanboy'ing for me. While he may have been good as a young'n. By the time he was in the pro's he definitely seemed to be a rider of the EPO times.
That's my two cents and you can't buy much these days with two cents. 😂
