Did Pantani really run a 44 inner chainring with an 11-23 cassette? Damn.

+1..... it was my excuse to finally get Netflix. Excellent documentary.

Thanks for the heads up!!

I watched it last night and it was well worth the time. i was occupied with life during the time he was racing and I only know the name, so getting the big picture about him was useful.

There is one clip of him on a climb being chased by a fellow described as the "world's best climber" at the time and Pantini pulls away from him so impressively that either he was an incredibly gifted athlete or .... Anyway, an impressive rider and a sad ending.

i wonder who_actually_built it?

Good video and you know you're cemented in an era when you can call out the names of the riders you havent seen racing for almost ten years.

Berzin and LeMond look like they've been eating at the same deli.

Gotta agree with michael about filmakers attempt
to over dramatize certain segments. Loved the early
interviews with Pantini - such a brilliant talent.
The timeline of his demise was brutually short.
Would have been great to see him have a long
career. Such an emotional and passionate figure.

[mktng]

never knew the story.
what a career.

lance is a dick.

The French are a bunch of dicks.

Drama, speculation, and all.

I thought it was extremely well done and the footage was excellent.

Brought back some great memories watching the tour then.

Dopers, cheaters, whatever you want to call me they are incredibly gifted (even the douchebags) I'm in awe of even the last guys ability to hump it over the alps by the end of the day.

I loved watching Floyd shoot up the mountain in '06 and just knew he was innocent. I felt terrible when I found out he was not, and that is what ruined my perception of the lot of them.

I still rank Dave Z. As an all time fav, along with Pantani. Never cared for lance, based on attitude alone.

Shame the system was rigged the way it was, but still in awe of them all.....well, most of them.
