Episode Synopsis

Marco Pantani's swashbuckling victory at Madonna di Campiglio in the 1999 Giro d'Italia should have been his crowning moment. Instead, the Italian was kicked out of the race while wearing the Maglia Rosa, ending the defence of his title and sending his career into freefall.We take a look back at Il Pirata’s tragic turning point. Written by Felix Lowe, narrated by Graham Willgoss and produced by Pete Burton. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
