Savoldelli is a good Climber , but he is especially well known for his fast downhilling. Because of that, he is often nicknamed ''Il Falco'' ("the falcon"). His downhill skills were particularly vital to his 2005 Giro win, when his descent down the last mountain of the penultimate stage managed to close a gap between him and the leading group, preserving his lead in the overall classification, and eventually giving him the Giro win. On July 20th, 2005, Savoldelli won the 17th stage of the Tour De France , becoming only the second teammate of Lance Armstrong to win an individual stage during Armstrong's seven Tour De France wins.
