Pantani: The Accidental Death of a Cyclist

If video is not shown, you can watch it here.

July is Tour de France month for me. It will take way too much of my time. When I saw Marco Pantani documentary in Netflix I had to watch it and because it was so good I had to do a video review. I had another thing planned for this week but it will be postponed.

Marco Pantani was one of the best climbers the sport has ever seen. His results may not justify his status as a legend like Eddy Merckx or Fausto Coppi. Some of his status comes from potential he had. He was one of best ever when he was at his best. But he wasn't at his best for a long time. Pantani: The Accidental Death of a Cyclist gives us some sort of picture why some people are so fanatic about Marco Pantani.

Marco Pantani is still last man to win Giro and Tour same year. That will change in two weeks if Alberto Contador win Tour this year. Contador is one of four biggest favorites to win the race. But Pantani is still last man to win both races same year.

Marco Pantani had many problems during his career. I guess it is suitable that making this video had some problems too. I had some problems almost at all stages. There is one ghosting part in this video and I have no idea how to get rid of it. I don't know what caused it. It wasn't only problem I had. I hope my bad luck ends now when I have published this review.
