Pantani: The Accidental Death of a Cyclist is a 2014 feature-length documentary film directed by James Erskine. It is about life and death of the road racing cyclist Marco Pantani.

Contents

Pantani: The Accidental Death of a Cyclist was averagely received mostly because of the too much sympathetic representation with regards to the accusation of doping. The Guardian gave the documentary 3 stars out of five, praising the "thrilling footage' but criticising how "it can't close the book on the doping allegations". Similarly, The Huffington Post stated that the director tended to eschew exploring Pantani's dark side in favor of focusing on his achievements. Also Time Out gave the documentary 3 stars out of five, describing Pantani's depiction much softer than most media accounts of Lance Armstrong.

The documentary has a 81% rating and an average rating of 6.2/10 on Rotten Tomatoes, with the consensus not yet reached.
