About Pantani: Accidental Death Of A Cyclist + Q&A

After winning the 1998 Tour de France cycle race, Marco Pantani was the biggest name in Italian sport, a national icon, loved by all sections of society. But within six years, he was dead.

Pantani: The Accidental Death of a Cyclist tells the story of a great champion and his rapid demise, asking whether such an eccentric loner ever stood a chance in the face of malign forces within professional cycling and Italian society.

The screening will be followed by a live onstage Q&A with ITV Tour de France commentator and author Matt Rendell, whose book The Death of Marco Pantani inspired the film.
