Pantani Question
 

Perhaps Benjo has this at his fingertips. Does anyone know how much Pantani
weighed when he won the 98 Giro as compared to his weight when he rode the
2003 Giro?

He weighed 57 kg in 98, and I remember he said in an interview befor the
Giro of 2003 he still had to lose 2 kg. So that makes 59.

Thanks. I've been watching the DVD of the 2003 Giro and thought he looked
heavier in the upper body. He climbed pretty well for a hematocrit of 50%.
It's rather sad to watch him knowing what his end was like.

Pantani has always been an inspiration whenever I take to the hills

Drugged or not, he was a wonderful climber to watch.

I remember watching the giro on tape this past winter when I was ill,
and had nothing to do but watch tv. SO I watched a lot of videos. It
was just after pantani died, and the giro was sort of poiignant since
it ws pantani's last race. The stage on the zoncolan was particulary
sad in a way. It was obvious pantani was a bit heavier, but he had
been doing really well that season and had really come alive in the
giro. On the zoncolan, it was really something that even with his
weight and the various health problems (that most of us didn't know
about at the time) he came in fifth. I was convinced that if pantani
was in his old form, he'd have flown up that mountain and won. Geez, I
could watch that all again, even if it is sad; it was one of the best
mountain stages I'd ever seen.
