Great film, so sad that the Italian's didn't love him again until after he died.

The French are a bunch of dicks.

What'd the French do? His fall began when he was booted out of the '99 Giro. He claimed he was set up. I don't know that there are any specific villains, but if there were, it was more likely his own countrymen - the Italians. The French didn't do anything to him...

Had been ignoring Netflix for over a year. Forgot I had set up paypal billing. So, after the Pantani doc, I watched Stop At Nothing. Yikes, talk about two extreme poles of tragic figure archetypes.

Good film. Funny how they never mentioned his nickname before the rather dubious il Pirata, Elefantino!

Absolutely ^

What his mom said at the end regarding sending her boy out do a sport that should have been constructive, positive, and the like, ended up being so negative/destructive once he got to a professional level. It's so tragic...

I honestly don't know much about the sport, but from what I've gathered (reading threads, watching other documentaries, and reading other sources now that I'm interested) is that it is ruined by any force beyond the simple bicycle, rider, and course combination.

Watched it. Got educated. Thanks for the heads up. Pantani was a beast. CIP

Good flick and thanks for posting...not to take away from the tradgedy, but the most impressive segment for me was Pantani barreling down a descent in a storm while putting on his rain cape.

"What his mom said at the end regarding sending her boy out do a sport that should have been constructive, positive, and the like, ended up being so negative/destructive once he got to a professional level."

When Pantani's mom said that 1999 was the first time gambling was allowed and then others chimed in on the events of that year. very plausible.....
