Wow! Thanks for the heads-up. I added it to my watchlist.

It was hugely entertaining to watch Pantani and co. during his TDF heyday.

Best line from the movie

"in the 90s winning a bike race became calculated and was no longer won on inspiration."


And Berzin - holy moly - brother got HUGE.

Thanks for the heads up! Finally, something worth watching on Netflix. What the hell happened to the movie selection?

It's a great story, but the doping segments relied heavily on constant footage of the centrifuge and syringes...over and over and over and over....to the point of distraction. My non-cycling office-mate found it distracting as well, and said it detracts from the viewer's compassion for Pantani.

I'd love to see this done in a shorter cut without all the attempts to dramatize a story that is already dramatic.

Andare con Dio, cara Pirata.
