Top 5 victories of Marco PANTANI, the 'pirate'.

The last old-fashioned climber. Uncontrollable, fearsome. He left us unrepeatable moments in the high mountains during the 90s, where he dominated the most epic summits in the world of cycling.

I was lucky enough to be at the 1998 TDF and I can tell you that stage was freezing cold rain like you would not believe even though it was summer at altitude it was like winter. It has to be his greatest victory and one of the greatest ever mountain stages in the tours history

My all Time Favourite Climber. Followed by Alberto Contador. And in no particular order after these 2 .
Froome, Ritchie Porte & the last 2 Riders of the last 4 TdeF 's

We used to call him "That Italian climbing freak"

Ogni tributo a Pantani è giusto e doveroso.
Pantani deve essere celebraro ovunque e per sempre, sia per onorare la sua grandezza, sia per evidenziare l'infamia di chi ce l'ha sulla coscienza.

Encore un cycliste avec un énorme talent en montagne qui a été sacrifier sur l autel de la performance à tout prix

Yep still the Best Climber in the Pro Peloton 👌 . 2nd Best 4Me was Alberto Contador el pistolero

Technically, it was Elefantino who won Alp d'Huez in 95 and Aprica in 94. The "pirate" only came about in 97.

[Bobby-vzeq]

Just imagine how could have won if he didn't have the two '95 accidents and the '97 one

[markhill]

Nope, without doubt The Angel is clearly the greatest climber of all time. Marco was bloody good, as a climber he was up there with the greats, but dancing out front, is Charly, greatest climber ever!

[Garfied]

Just imagine how he would have faired without DOPING like a madman. Forget these guys - they don't deserve it. Thumbs down.

The narrator needs to seriously work on his pronunciation of French, Italian and Russian names of racers and places. At first it was comical but, at times, it took me a moment to figure out what he was trying to say. By the end it was really irritating.

A DOPER from the Doped Peloton generation. Almost certainly, everyone “in the break” in those days, was juiced; Pantani was one of the most consistent PED abusers. And he died like a doper….

Nothing “famous” or “best” about him. Marco Pantani was just like the rest of the EPO users of the era.
