If anyone interested in Pantani hasn't read Matt Rendell's book, The Death of Marco Pantanithen they should. Immediately.
Velonews have an excellent interview with Rendell up at the moment;

Rendell has more knowledge of what went on than most, and I can't disagree with a word he says. His comments on Pantani's actions towards Andrea Tafi in the 1999 Giro should be read by anyone who eulogises Pantani. Like all of us, he had many flaws.
