Pantani is still alive for the young people who barely knew him, the author reflects. He seems to have never left because he has a fan club waiting for him at every step.
We have this one, great and intimate regret: never having been able to feel the magic of when he looked back imperceptibly and sprinted away, with that way of attacking with his hands down on the pedals. He was going so fast that they wanted to destroy him, but he, I don't know how, has found a way to remain indestructible.
