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. 　　译文(2): 1998年，他那个时代最耀眼、最受欢迎的自行车手马可 · 潘塔尼(Marco Pantani)赢得了环法自行车赛(Tour de France)和意大利环法自行车赛(Giro d’Italia) ，这是一项体力和精神耐力的巨大壮举，此后再没有车手重复【资源囤-ZiYuanTun.Com】。他是数百万人心目中的英雄，是自行车运动在兴奋剂丑闻之后的救世主，兴奋剂丑闻有可能毁掉这项运动。然而，不到六年后，年仅34岁的他在一家廉价酒店的房间里死于急性可卡因中毒。他已经上瘾五年了。这是一个关于他那个时代最重要的意大利自行车运动员的悲剧性斗争的故事: 人与山，运动员与瘾君子，马可潘塔尼与他自己。
