Plot.

In 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 hotel room, from acute cocaine poisoning. He had been an addict for five years. This is the story of the tragic battles fought by the most important Italian cyclist of his generation; man verses mountain, athlete verses addiction, Marco Pantani verses himself.

Wiki.

Pantani: The Accidental Death of a Cyclist is a 2014 feature-length documentary film directed by James Erskine. It is about the life and death of road racing cyclist Marco Pantani.

Pantani: The Accidental Death of a Cyclist was averagely received, mostly because of the too much sympathetic representation with regards to the accusation of doping. The Guardian gave the documentary three stars out of five, praising the "thrilling footage' but criticising how "it can't close the book on the doping allegations." Similarly, The Huffington Post stated that the director tended to eschew exploring Pantani's dark side in favor of focusing on his achievements. Time Out gave the documentary 3 stars out of five, describing Pantani's depiction much softer than most media accounts of Lance Armstrong.On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 84% based on 19 reviews, with an average rating of 6.29/10.
