À propos de cet audio
The intimate biography of the charismatic Tour de France winner Marco Pantani, now updated to include the 2014 and 2015 investigation into Pantani's death.
National Sporting Club Book of the Year
Shortlisted for the William Hill Sports Book of the Year Award
On Valentine's day 2004, Marco Pantani was found dead in a cheap hotel. It defied belief: Pantani, having won the rare double of the Giro d'Italia and the Tour de France in 1998, was regarded as the only cyclist capable of challenging Lance Armstrong's dominance. Only later did it emerge that Pantani had been addicted to cocaine since 1999.
Drawing on his personal encounters with Pantani, as well as exclusive access to his psychoanalysts, and interviews with his family and friends, Matt Rendell has produced the definitive account of an iconic sporting figure.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Shocking
I have read a lot about doping in professional cycling, but the story of Marco Pantani really shocked me. More than the doping, or doping suspicions, his decline into the clutches of cocaine addiction after the Giro disqualification was a real eye opener. It seems to me his cycling team saw him as a commodity, rather than a person who needed help. It’s sad after such promise. This book was also insightful as to how hard it is to be on a professional cycling team if you aren’t particularly social. I think this led to his mental decline.
An important twist follows in the “post script to the 2015 edition” (chapter 29 in the Audible version - with almost 2 hours still to go).
