E 'February 14, 2004 when Marco Pantani, the "Pirate" and the Italian cycling world, is found dead in a residence in Rimini. After years of triumphs in the Tour of Italy and Tour de France doping allegations, later proved unfounded, took him on the road to a slow and inexorable psychological breakdown, and the specter of depression, drugs, loneliness accompanied him to a tragic end, perhaps anuncio. In recent months Mark was collecting notes for a book that was supposed to tell his story. A project that only Manuela Ronchi, Pantani's manager, and even before its irreplaceable confidant for many years, could bring to completion, giving us a unique and unprecedented portrait of the Pirate, an intimate portrait, real and personal. Thanks to the special relationship with the family of Marco, Manuela Ronchi, flanked by Gianfranco Josti sports journalist, has taken that thread interrupted ricostrunendo faithfully stages of life of the sample, childhood onset in cycling, to the triumphs, falls, and the fierce controversy that accompanied one of the few still able to trigger those fans in real sports passion who knows maybe just cycling still inspire. The result is a long exciting tale that brings to the fore for the first time the same voice of Mark, one of genitroi, the unpublished letters and messages left by Pantani's last before leaving for good. A book that finally gives us the truth, without the mediation and interpretations of many representatives of the professional cycling world, not only on business and the mistakes of the Romagna great racer, but also on the private lives and emotions of a man weak and alone, generous and selfish at the same time, a "man on the run" from the "torrid sadness of life."
