pretty much everything with Savoldelli and a dowhill is like watching something breaking every law we know about gravity :p

I think i need to post the ll falco song by bepi & the prismas feat II Falco himself.

It's sung in bergamasque.

I ma dìs dài, i ma dìs brao, i ma dìs bèl

La ensìt ol gìr, a ‘lla ensìt lü, ‘lla ensìt amò!

Falco Saoldèl, Falco Saoldèl
Al vé zo a ciot dal Murtiröl o dal Tonal
Falco Saoldèl, gnac a sunàga
Al vé zo a ciot e töcc chi oter i la fa ‘n braga

I ma dìs dài, i ma dìs brao, i ma dìs bèl
I ma dìs Falco Saoldèl!

Al turna ‘n mént ol nom del Marinù
Sura du röde l’era ü grànt po’ a lü
Ma ché a Ruèta ol rösa l’è töt tò
To é ensìt ol gìr, to lé ensìt tè, To é ensìt amò!

Falco Saoldèl, Falco Saoldèl
Al vé zo a ciot dal Murtiröl o dal Tonal
Falco Saoldèl, gnac a sunàga
Al vé zo a ciot e töcc chi oter i la fa ‘n braga

E mé de bici ga na so mìa tàt
Fo sènto méter pò ‘l ma manca ‘l fiàt
Al gìr d’Italia al vèns mìa Damiano Preda

E certa zét ‘ndo ìela du agn fa
A ‘ndà sö e zo ‘nda éta l’è malfà
I disìa Simoni o Cunego, però
O ensìt ol gir, a ‘llo ensìt mé, ‘lo ensìt amò!


Eye talian and english

Mi dicono dai, mi dicono bravo, mi dicono bello/ they tell me "come on", they call me good, they say call nice
Mi chiamano Falco Savoldelli/ they call me Falco Savoldelli

Oggi Rovetta è persino più bello/ Today Rovetta looks even more nice
Stasera arriva Paolo Savoldelli/ Savoldelli's coming tonight
Tutta la gente corre per uscire di casa/ All the people are rushing out of their houses
Ha vinto il giro, l'ha vinto lui, l'ha vinto ancora/ he won the Giro, yes he did, he won it again

Falco Savoldelli, Falco Savoldelli
vien giù senza freni dal Mortirolo o dal Tonale/ runs down from Mortirolo or Tonale without breaking
Falco Savoldelli, anche se gli suoni/ even if you honk at him
vien giù senza paura mentre gli altri se la fanno addosso/ he boldly speeds down while the others are too afraid

Mi dicono dai, mi dicono bravo, mi dicono bello/ they tell me "come on", they call me good, they say call nice
Mi chiamano Falco Savoldelli/ they call me Falco Savoldelli

Torna in mente il nome di Marinoni/ the name of Marinoni comes to my mind
su due ruote era un grande anche lui/ he was great on two wheels as well
ma qui a Rovetta il rosa è tutto tuo/ but here in Rovetta the pink is all yours
hai vinto il giro, l'hai vinto tu, l'hai vinto ancora/ he won the Giro, he did, he won it again

Falco Savoldelli, Falco Savoldelli
vien giù senza freni dal Mortirolo o dal Tonale/ runs down from Mortirolo or Tonale without breaking
Falco Savoldelli, anche se gli suoni/ even if you honk at him
vien giù senza paura mentre gli altri se la fanno addosso/ he boldly speeds down while the others are too afraid

E io di bicicletta ne so poco/ and i know very little about cycling
Faccio cento metri poi mi manca il fiato/ after 100 metres i'm already out of breath
Al gìro d’Italia non vince Damiano Preda/ Damiano Preda cannot win the Giro
Servono la testa, le gambe e il cuore che rende/ for you need to use head, legs and heart

E certa gente dov'era due anni fa?/ and some people, where were they two years ago?
E' difficile andar su e giù nella vita/ it's hard to go up and down in life
Dicevano Simoni o Cunego, però/ they would say Simoni or Cunego, but
ho vinto il Giro, l'ho vinto io, l'ho vinto ancora!/ i've won the Giro, yes i did, i've won it again

Bettini 2006 in Lombardia was spectacular, in the finale, on Battaglia descent. He wanted to win at any cost, for his brother who died days before.

Also Armstrong in TdF 2003 ofc, the Gap stage.

Sammy Sanchez in Züri Metzgete 2006.

Botero in Galibier descent 2005, TdF.

Is that already seven years ago!? Time flies. I remember that one as pretty recent.

Can't remember which descent it was, but the one where Cancellara had a puncture in the maillot jaune and descended his way back on to the bunch in Andorra in 2009.

Oh yeah! I remember that one! The commentators were being all why don't they send a few men down to help him?
Uhm... that would be why... :rolleyes:
