Pantani: The Accidental Death of a Cyclist is a 2014 feature-length documentary film directed by James Erskine. It is about life and death of the road racing cyclist Marco Pantani.

Pantani: The Accidental Death of a Cyclist was averagely received mostly because of the too much sympathetic representation with regards to the accusation of doping. The Guardian gave the documentary 3 stars out of five, praising the "thrilling footage' but criticising how it "it can't close the book on the doping allegations". Similarly, The Huffington Post stated that the director tended to eschew exploring Pantani's dark side in favor of focusing on his achievements. Also Time Out gave the documentary 3 stars out of five, describing Pantani's depiction much softer than most media accounts of Lance Armstrong.

The documentary has a 81% rating and an average rating of 6.2/10 on Rotten Tomatoes, with the consensus not yet reached.

Ce documentaire filmé lors du Tour de France 1962, n'est pas un résumé de la course. Il permet de se rendre compte de l'ambiance avec la caravane publicitaire, du public sur le bord des routes, les motards suivant les coureurs et des anecdotes de cycliste. La caméra suit les abandons de l'Italien Zorzi et du Belge Van Looy.

In 2009 director Alex Gibney set out to film The Road Back, a documentary on cyclist Lance Armstrong's comeback year after a four-year retirement from the sport. Three years later, on October 2012, a doping investigation led to his lifetime ban from competition and the stripping of his seven Tour de France titles, and the documentary was shelved. On January 14, 2013, three hours after his appearance on Oprah, Armstrong went back to Gibney to set the record straight about his career.
