Navigation of the Giro became treacherous in the sweltering Milan heat at 33 degrees. Yes, because perhaps in Scandinavia they will be happy (pink jersey for Vingegaard and stage victory for Lavik Dvernsnes), yet what occupies almost all the reports is Jonas's "braking," as he surrenders with some bewilderment to the enthusiasm of the Milan crowd. The brakes? Jonas had to play a role that was also ungrateful, certainly unpalatable for those who wanted to witness the spectacle of the pink jersey's return in the shadow of the Duomo. The neutralization obtained (or imposed, as noted by Corsera), after consultations with the Jury, monopolizes the headlines, with a stark contrast between what was described the day before ("Revolution," "Takeover") and the appearance of cycling's Masaniello figures ("Milan freezes its final kilometers," "The revolt against Milan," "Giro disfigured in Milan"). Dura lex, sed lex: a rest day to calm spirits is entirely justified. Denounces Pier Augusto Stagi in Il Giornale: "They've ruined the Giro again. They've disfigured the pink race once more, as is customary, as is the script. Every year it's always the same." Milan in French is written Milan, but L'Equipe is not referring to a missed duel between Magnier and our sprinter in the Lidl Trek jersey. Yesterday's fifth place for the cyclamen jersey was meager consolation.

LIFE IN PINK
Jonas Vingegaard can't help but laugh when he sees a banner in the crowd dedicated to him that reads "I love you" from a female fan. The Danish leader throws flowers from the Milan podium, continues to admire the pink jersey he's wearing. He'll say: "I didn't think wearing it would be such an intense emotion." It was the first day of his career spent in command of the Giro d'Italia, the day after his third mountain stage victory at Pila, and the Dane savored every moment of it. (Ciro Scognamiglio)

GIRO VINGEGAARD'S BRAKING
AND MILAN FREEZES ITS FINAL KILOMETERS
There are many ways to celebrate your first day in the pink jersey, especially if you're a champion. Jonas Vingegaard chose the worst: appointing himself responsible for the group's safety by mutilating the route of the fifteenth stage of the Giro d'Italia. In a Milan that had been waiting for the Giro for five years and had prepared to welcome it with a spectacular city circuit, wide curves and broad straightaways, the Dane pulled the jury car up 40 kilometers from the finish line asking—indeed imposing—on the jury president to neutralize the final lap to prevent accidents. Cornered, the president said yes. (Marco Bonarrigo)

REPUBBLICA
VINGEGAARD AND THE REVOLT AGAINST MILAN
A bad day for cycling closed the second week of the Giro. The victory of Norwegian Dvernsnes over Maestri and Marcellusi in a three-man sprint after a long breakaway risks remaining a detail in a forgettable picture despite the large crowds on the streets of central Milan. If the intention was to bring the city—cradle of the Giro—closer to the pink creation, just ending a record five-year absence from stages, the attempt fell flat. (Cosimo Cito)

GIRO DISFIGURED IN MILAN: 16 KILOMETERS NEUTRALIZED
They've ruined the Giro again. They've disfigured the pink race once more, as is customary, as is the script. Every year it's always the same: 13 degrees of temperature become unbearable, a dusting of snow makes roads impassable, two manhole covers and one extra "S-curve" in the Bocconi area like yesterday are sufficient to neutralize 16 km of a 157 km stage.
They've ruined the Giro, disfiguring a race that hadn't come to Milan for five years. Two laps from the finish, after intense discussions between Campenaerts and the pink jersey Vingegaard with the jury president (Spaniard Tortajada), here comes the neutralization. Times are "crystallized" 16.4 km from the finish. What were the riders complaining about? Perhaps some manhole covers? Perhaps an "chicane" in the Bocconi area? Perhaps a couple of extra rails? (Pier Augusto Stagi)

L'EQUIPE
MILAN NEGATIVE FOR MAGNIER
It seems that the cyclamen jersey, finally snatched between Voghera and Milan, gave him some trouble yesterday evening in the Lombard capital. Paul Magnier (22 years old) arrived at his team bus still furious from the heat and irritation, wearing the day's jersey, not the one he had put on just minutes before at the podium ceremony. Once again leading the points classification, thanks to the 15 points gained over Jhonatan Narvaez (1st at the intermediate sprint, 14th at the finish), the Soudal-Quick-Step Frenchman won a sprint from the group (5th), which served as meager consolation. (Thomas Perotto)

THE STAGE FLIES BY AT OVER 51 KM/H, SPRINTERS DISAPPOINTED
The crowd on Milan's final circuit (16.3 km) repeated four times was immense. The organization had designed the city route on wide avenues and safe to travel. Unfortunately, some riders, including pink jersey Jonas Vingegaard, Victor Campenaerts and Giulio Ciccone, when approximately 40 km remained to the finish, asked and obtained from the jury president, Spaniard Tortajada, the neutralization of times to avoid falls or mechanical incidents one lap from the end, rather than the customary minus 5 kilometers as per UCI regulations for stage races. The neutralized section was extended to 16.3 km. (Alessandro Brambilla)

NORDIC TRICK
Everyone was expecting a sprint in the Milan center and instead came the breakaway. Heat scorching the asphalt, a sea of fans crowded along the roadside on Milan's final circuit and four riders who, once they passed under the red triangle of the final kilometer, understood that those few seconds accumulated would be enough to fight for victory on Corso Venezia, leaving the sprinters empty-handed.
