The life of the "lonely ranger" has passed in terrible lonelyes.
His friend Davide Cassani told that he talked to a month before this tragic event and that he was "murky". That he wasn`t "he" but someone else.
Last four years the years of suffering came. It all started in Madonna di Campiglion where he was disqualiftied. Becuase he had too many red blood cells in his blood he was like a black sheep suffering from EPO. But it looked like that he has passed those trouble years when he was 14th on Giro d`Italia. But unfortunately it wasn`t so. Soon after he suffered from deppresion illnes.
The last week of his life he spent in the hotel. So he was lonely most of his life and his died lonely. Away from everybody. He spared all behind.
Why? Nobody will probably ever know and Pantani took that answer to his grave.
May he rest in peace!
RIP! You will always be rememberd!
