Anyone know if there is a online video the “gift”
.
I don’t of any online and I am not so sure it was a gift. Marco Pantani was an extremely gifted climber as well as former tour winner. Lance did not contest the sprint for the climb. It was a insult to Marco to suggest he was gifted that stage. It is quite common for the tour leader to not contest the sprint if another rider who is out of contention helps the tour leader gain time on the other GC contenders much like Frank Schleck got the stage win yesterday. It really is a bit of honor amongst the combatants.
Google is your friend. One of the first links with the search “marco pantani lance armstrong” is this Youtube clip:

An 8 min clip with some techo music.
I also turned up this one. I don’t speak Spanish but it was still exciting to hear the enthusiasm in the announcers voice:

Absolutely Italian. 'Course the “Rai Tre” at the top of the frame gives it away.
