CARTAGIRO. THE PRESS REVIEW OF THE GIRO D'ITALIA

GIRO D'ITALIA | 17/05/2026 | 09:00
di Aldo Peinetti

Giacomo Leopardi, he certainly knew about "turmoil". Speaking in cycling terms, it is the Corriere della Sera more than anyone else that endorses that term, associating it with the well-founded hypothesis that the hierarchy at Red Bull is changing, with a surge in Jay Hindley's stock and a downward trend for Giulio Pellizzari. A "fixing" that as Italians we can only hope is temporary. Much could be said about what Gazzetta defines as the second round, atop Corno alle Scale, which Ciro Scognamiglio describes with precision (10.8 kilometers at 6.1%, the skiing cradle of Alberto Tomba and the place where Simoni won in 2004 ahead of Cunego. It's all there).


It falls to Repubblica to corroborate the hypothesis that Pellizzari is finding an internal rival in Jay Hindley ("he was pedaling with such ease" - notes correspondent Cosimo Cito, compared to a Giulio "rather struggling in the final hundred meters"). Where did we leave Leopardi? Most likely (imagines Pier Augusto Stagi on Il Giornale) not at the school desk attended by Johnatan Narvaez, whose "Saturday of the village," recalled in the broad headline of an article occupying three-quarters of a page, has nothing of the turmoil mentioned above. Abroad, a look into the world of Felix Gall also through the positive feelings from the Decathlon GGM CMA entourage about the Austrian's form. He races for a French publication, agreed, but he's already earned a page in L'Equipe without winning. Meanwhile, in Ecuador, they're celebrating: "Nobody can stop him! Jhonatan Narvaez signs his second victory at the Giro d'Italia and wins the eighth stage". The El Universo website is not only celebratory, however; it contains a warning for Narvaez's rivals: "Nobody can stop him!". Who will stop the good Jhonatan?
 
GAZZETTA DELLO SPORT
JONAS & GIULIO, SECOND ROUND
There is no truce. Not now, it's not yet the time. Tomorrow the Giro d'Italia will experience the second of three scheduled rest days, but in the meantime we're still climbing. We're heading to the top of Corno alle Scale (10.8 kilometers at 6.1%): the skiing cradle of Alberto Tomba - where in 2004, in the only previous occasion, Simoni won ahead of Cunego, his teammate and later king of that Giro - won't be a Mortirolo or a Zoncolan, but it can still hurt, especially because it comes after the pairing of Blockhaus (Friday)-Muri marchigiani (yesterday). (Ciro Scognamiglio)


CORRIERE DELLA SERA
PELLIZZARI'S TURMOIL: IS THE ANTI-VINGEGAARD HIM OR HIS TEAMMATE HINDLEY?
We all know the gradient changes of Grammont, Kwaremont and Koppenberg and every cobblestone of Reputolo, Capordarco and Monte Marino, it will be necessary to at least learn the names. The "Muri" from the Marche region will never reach the fame of the Flemish ones, but having inserted four of them yesterday in the route of the eighth stage of the 109th Giro electrified the race finale. And if the gaps between the big names at the finish line were counted in (few) seconds, the collateral effect of the lactic acid surge today could have heavier consequences, before the rest day. (Marco Bonarrigo)

REPUBBLICA
PELLIZZARI HAS A RIVAL IN-HOUSE, HINDLEY TOO IS CAPTAIN ON TOMBA'S MOUNTAIN
The Marche walls didn't inspire Giulio Pellizzari. "We brought it home, I hoped to arrive among the first on my roads, but it will be for another time". In the final meters he seemed rather in crisis, drowning in lactic acid while ahead his teammate Jay Hindley was pedaling with such ease. Like in the finale of Blockhaus, by the way. Is something quickly changing at Red Bull? Is Giulio still the captain? (Cosimo Cito)
 
IL GIORNALE
THE SATURDAY OF THE VILLAGE EXALTS NARVAEZ, AND VINGEGAARD WAITS
It's likely that Jhonatan Narvaez doesn't even know who Giacomo Leopardi is and is unaware of his "Saturday of the village," even though yesterday he flattened the bristling Marche walls with voracious determination. An Ecuadorian in Fermo, after claiming the stage from Cosenza. A personal double, a triple for the UAE Emirates team, the Emirati squad that immediately lost three key pieces like Adam Yates, Jay Vine and Marc Soler who dropped out of the Giro already in the first stage, but which didn't lose heart and switched to battle mode. (Pier Augusto Stagi)

L'EQUIPE
FELIX GALL: I'VE MADE A BIG STEP FORWARD
Yesterday morning, on the occasion of the eighth stage, Gall arrived smiling in front of the Cathedral of San Giustino in Chieti, precisely the place where Giulio Ciccone got married three years ago. The day before, at Blockhaus, the Austrian didn't expect to lose so little time to Jonas Vingegaard, just 13 seconds, while Jai Hindley (3rd), Giulio Pellizzari (4th) and everyone else were more than a minute behind. "It's fantastic to see how good my form is," he said. (Julien Chesnais)

TUTTOSPORT
UAE A TRUE POWERHOUSE, NARVAEZ SIGNS HIS SECOND VICTORY
The finish line in Fermo has always been suited to explosive riders. Yesterday the Chieti-Fermo stage, number 8 of the Giro d'Italia, was won by a finisher who excels in explosiveness: Jhonatan Narvaez. The Ecuadorian from UAE Emirates-Xrg on the Fermo climb repeated the victory obtained in Cosenza in the first Italian stage. Yesterday Narvaez, 29 years old, beat Andreas Leknessund by 32". UAE Emirates confirmed it is much more than a team: the Emiratis in the Bulgarian stages lost Adam Yates, Marc Soler and Jay Vine. (Alessandro Brambilla)

CORRIERE DELLO SPORT
NARVAEZ'S SEAL
Not even the Fermo walls managed to curb Jhonatan Narvaez's hunger for victory. After his winning move in the reduced sprint in Cosenza, the Ecuadorian national champion was doubly clever in slipping into the right breakaway after many attempts by other riders stopped by the peloton and then literally flattened the terrible gradients of the Marche backroads.
