The film operates as a traditional biographical drama centered on the life of Marco Pantani. Its narrow focus on a singular historical figure limits opportunities for diverse representation or challenging social hierarchies. The narrative emphasizes the physical and psychological struggles of a male athlete within a specific European sporting context. This results in a lack of diversity regarding gender, race, and LGBTQ+ identities. While the film touches on mental health through the lens of depression, the representation remains tied to a singular, tragic character arc rather than a broader exploration of diverse lived experiences.

Official Synopsis
The determination of cyclist Marco Pantani leads him to win the Giro d'Italia and (as the only Italian) the Tour de France, as well as to overcome serious accidents. In 1999, his hematocrit level is found to be above the permitted threshold: this marks the beginning of a downward spiral that leads to depression and death from drugs.
