On the rest day after the transfer to Calabria, the press review took us between the fjords and to the website Feldet.dk, a rich sports portal accessible through the page of the popular Danish tabloid Ekstra Bladet. The rest is done by the automatic translator, which "purifies" the text of those crossed-out "o"s as if they referred to a tram line. Let's get to the point though, with a headline that reads: Riis disagrees with Contador: he is not worried about Vingegaard.

Below is an excerpt from an article that reproduces the words of the Danish winner of the 1996 Tour de France, who has his own podcast:

Alberto Contador is skeptical about the Giro-Tour double. Bjarne Riis does not share this concern.
Attempting to win both the Giro d'Italia and the Tour de France in the same season has broken (the dreams of) great stars throughout history.
Alberto Contador is skeptical that Jonas Vingegaard can pull it off this year, but Bjarne Riis is convinced that the Dane has the ability to succeed.

On today's newspaper pages, regarding the Giro, we go from Gazzetta's Patti Pravo-style headline ("Wonderful Thought") to Corriere della Sera's focus on the explosion of baby phenomena, renamed Gen Z with the blessing of the copyright of part of the Emirati development team. Repubblica, on the other hand, does not like the thousands of kilometers of travel accumulated by the riders, who are also quite eloquent ("We are a Circus"), with spokespeople of the caliber of Vingegaard and Caruso, when it comes to highlighting the weight of transfers in the economy of the Giro d'Italia. Speaking of roses, not from Abruzzo, peacefully armed with pruning shears, Mauro Vegni, now retired, delivers to Il Giornale an intense account in which he can afford the luxury of apparent detachment from his last creation, the 109th edition. If Tuttosport reveals the menacing, though actually harmless, nickname of the Uruguayan Silva, it sounds like a warning certainly not peaceful for rivals when Paul Magnier tells L'Equipe: "I don't want to stop". We had noticed.

WONDERFUL THOUGHT
PELLIZARI CHARGES: "I'M CHASING THE PINK JERSEY AND IT WILL BE FOR ITALY"
And now the question circulates everywhere in the pink caravan, among fans, insiders and simple curious onlookers: can Giulio Pellizari really win the Giro d'Italia? After the Grand Start in Bulgaria, his name has become impossible to ignore. Because when on the second stage Jonas Vingegaard ignited the race with one of his attacks on the Lyaskoe­vts Monastery Pass climb, the first to react without hesitation was none other than him. A strong signal.
Now the Giro restarts from Calabria and Pellizari presents himself with the calm of someone who knows that talent alone is not enough. But also with the lucidity of someone who doesn't want to hide. (Sergio Arcobelli)

CORRIERE DELLA SERA
GIRO, EMOTIONS AND SPRINTS OF BABY PHENOMENA, THE GEN Z RACE
Paul Magnier, who conquered two of the first three stages of the Giro d'Italia with masterful sprints, and Giulio Pellizari, who held his own against Jonas Vingegaard on the climb, are only 22 years old. Lennert Van Eetvel­t, who didn't drop the wheel of the two great favorites, is 24, while Jan Christen, field captain of UAE Emirates, is 21. Born in 2001, pink jersey wearer Guillermo Silva is the veteran of the group. From the Bulgarian stages of the Giro d'Italia emerges a race dominated by the very young riders of Generation Z: when Tadej Pogacar won his first Tour at 21, there was talk of a sensational (and for some dangerous) exception to the rule that riders should wait a long time before targeting the grand tours so as not to "burn out," whatever that means.

REPUBBLICA
THE FORCED LABORERS OF THE GIRO FROM SOFIA TO CATANZARO; "WE ARE A CIRCUS"
The Giro restarts today from Catanzaro with a very short but not simple stage that arrives in Cosenza.
There will be just 138 kilometers, departing at 2 p.m. The teams landed in Calabria Sunday evening. After the Sofia stage, everyone on the buses and off to the airport, destination Lamezia Terme on charter flights, arriving around 10 p.m. In difficult times for air traffic, cycling and the Giro seem to live in a bubble where everything is possible, even two mega air transfers in three weeks. The first is already behind us, the second will happen after the penultimate stage in Friuli, heading to Rome. (Cosimo Cito)

IL GIORNALE
"FROM THE PINK JERSEY TO ROSES IN THE GARDEN... MY GREAT GIRO ENDED THERE"
He has an endless list of invitations to the Giro d'Italia, so much so that Mauro Vegni at this point should make one all his own, just to go around shaking hands and satisfying everyone who wants him at lunch or dinner. "If I listened to everyone, I really wouldn't make it to the finish line: I'd die first" (he laughs). Mauro Vegni, born in '59, from '95 the reference man of Rcs Sport, before becoming in 2002 "the boss" of the Giro d'Italia, for now observes. The one being raced is the last Giro he designed, but since February he has formally gone into a state of quiescence. "I'm retired, say it without fear: I'm not offended." (Pier Augusto Stagi)

L'EQUIPE
MAGNIER: "I DON'T WANT TO STOP"
With his calf vein clearly visible and in short pants, Paul Magnier received us at the end of the day, after a massage, in the lobby of his hotel in Catanzaro, Calabria, from where the fourth stage of the Giro d'Italia will depart today. The Frenchman arrived there Sunday evening, welcomed by the entire staff of the team after the flight from Sofia. "They had set a table," recounts the Soudal-Quick Step sprinter. "We uncorked a bottle of champagne to toast." (Julien Chesnais)

TUTTOSPORT
URUGUAY WEARS PINK: "CRAZY"
His origins are lost in deepest Uruguay, in a remote land at least for cycling, where—in all likelihood—his controversial nickname also germinated. Yes, because Guillermo Thomas Silva doesn't really have the features of a "Tank." He's shy, quite small, always smiling. And yet: "Tank." So much so: he's the boy from Maldonado. 24 years old, a historian by profession, the face of the Giro d'Italia who from today is about to pedal on our roads, after the Grand Start from Bulgaria. (Daniele Galosso)

THE GIRO D'ITALIA READY TO RESTART FROM CATANZARO
The Giro d'Italia restarts from Calabria. The Grand Start in Bulgaria last weekend celebrated two winning sprints by Paul Magnier, the first Uruguayan pink jersey of Guillermo Silva, but it also came at a cost to several contenders for the general classification like the UAE Team Emirates duo of Jay Vine and Adam Yates, and Santiago Buitrago.
