Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Looking for book recommendations

Has anyone read any of the Pantani books?

I was going to buy:

The Death of Marco Pantani : A Biography by Matt Rendell

but then noticed another title called:

Man on the Run: The Life and Death of Marco Pantani by Manuela ; Josti, Gianfranco Ronchi

I don't know where I read a review of (I think) the first one and I made a note to myself to get it. Just found the little note the other day so figured I'd pick it up.

Anyone have any recommendations?
