Jonas Vingegaard's comeback, returning to claim a Grand Tour and conquering the exclusive triple crown, coincides with emotions from the Danish champion, already evident before the awards ceremony. Do even robots have a soul? Certainly, the winner of the Giro d'Italia, as recalled by Ciro Scognamiglio in Gazzetta dello Sport, "enjoyed every moment of an extraordinary day and, when he received the Trofeo Senza Fine, had already cried".

The other publication from the Giro's parent company, Corriere della Sera, with Marco Bonarrigo describes the fairytale finale also through an effective reference to the race action, as the sprint approaches: "Perhaps — indeed certainly — Filippo Ganna's spectacle had an impact, launched at full power on the cobblestones to try to anticipate the sprint".

Yes, the 25-year-old from Buja heaved a sigh of relief that was shared by all the Italian supporters of the Friuli cyclist. To put it with the headline from La Stampa, accompanying Daniela Cotto's article, "Milan's seal, better late than never". It falls to Cosimo Cito, correspondent for Repubblica, to debunk the myth, that of shadows descending from the Palatine: "Vingegaard backlit lifting little Frida and Hugo and driving photographers crazy". An image that somewhat soothes the masters of the perfect shot (understood as photographers) from the fatigue of three weeks in which they didn't miss a single click. The human factor.

This final carousel of the Giro through the newspapers closes under the sign of numbers (the contribution of print media to the narrative — but we would say to the critical interpretation — of the Giro d'Italia is indispensable). In Il Giornale ("Vingegaard "the fisherman king" who risked death two years ago") the perfect number is "5", referring to the opening of Pier Augusto Stagi's piece: "Five kisses for one kiss. Five kisses on the photo of his wife and children placed on the handlebars, followed by a kiss to his wedding ring, to celebrate the five stage victories that Jonas Vingegaard conquered in this Giro dominated far and wide". At L'Équipe they prefer the "3" (like the grand tours won by Vingegaard), you can tell from the headline and confirmation comes already in the first lines of Thomas Perotto's article, who took over — according to editorial practice — from Julien Chesnais. Names at the bottom of articles that make up the race caravan ready, after letting their keyboards rest a bit, to transform into a brigade heading to the Tour.

GAZZETTA DELLO SPORT
"I, REBORN WITH THE GIRO"
He enjoyed every moment of an extraordinary day and, when he received the Trofeo Senza Fine, had already cried. The narrative of a Jonas Vingegaard incapable of emotion finally ends on an afternoon lived in the heart of Rome's great beauty, and him dressed in the pink of consecration. First Dane in history to win the Giro d'Italia — after the final sprint finally signed by Jonathan Milan — eighth of all time to be able to count on successes at the Giro, Tour and Vuelta. (Ciro Scognamiglio)

CORRIERE DELLA SERA
GIRO, FAIRYTALE FINALE
Perhaps it was the merit of the day, of a Rome more radiant than those of the last four years. Perhaps the new circuit with the uphill finish mattered, the Circus Maximus and the Imperial Forums in the background. Perhaps — indeed certainly — Filippo Ganna's spectacle had an impact, launched at full power on the cobblestones to try to anticipate the sprint. It doesn't matter that he didn't succeed, sucked back with his teammates Sobrero and Stuyven just steps from the finish line: Ganna launched at 60 kilometers per hour alongside the Colosseum with the infuriated pack of sprinters at his heels was worth the wait alone under the scorching sun. (Marco Bonarrigo)

LA STAMPA
MILAN'S SEAL, BETTER LATE THAN NEVER
Jonathan Milan, finally. The Lidl-Trek champion, 25 years old from Buja, takes the final stage, that of the final parade in Rome. It always has an effect to win in front of the Colosseum. "I'm very happy to finish like this in the capital. My people charged me up. On Saturday the Giro passed right by my house, in Friuli". It's a reborn Milan who tells the story of emotion with shivers. He deserves it after three weeks of bitterness, fatigue, grumbling and that "train" that never launched him in the right way. (Daniela Cotto)

REPUBBLICA
ROME CROWNS VINGEGAARD, THE FINAL SPRINT BELONGS TO MILAN
It's a myth, the city with shadows descending from the Palatine, and Vingegaard backlit lifting little Frida and Hugo and driving photographers crazy, removes his cap, becomes emotional at the anthem, raises a sponsored glass and then, finally, lifts to the sky the great golden spring, the endless trophy that for the first time bears the name of a rider from Denmark. Visma raced in black with a jersey that stylized the profiles of Italy, France and Spain. (Cosimo Cito)

IL GIORNALE
VINGEGAARD "THE FISHERMAN KING" WHO RISKED DEATH TWO YEARS AGO
Five kisses for one kiss. Five kisses on the photo of his wife and children placed on the handlebars, followed by a kiss to his wedding ring, to celebrate the five stage victories that Jonas Vingegaard conquered in this Giro dominated far and wide. Five kisses for one kiss: the one he received yesterday in Rome (in the final stage victory for Jonathan Milan who breaks his drought) from his wife Trine and his two little ones, Frida and Hugo. Jonas had them by his side two years ago as well, when he risked seeing his career shattered. (Pier Augusto Stagi)

L'ÉQUIPE
THE RULE OF THREE
Perhaps because accompanied differently, Jonas Vingegaard often seemed alone on the Italian peaks, with the pink jersey so high above the others, so carefree and serene, yet escorted by the memory of Jacques Anquetil, Felice Gimondi, Eddy Merckx, Bernard Hinault, Alberto Contador, Vincenzo Nibali and Christopher Froome. The 29-year-old Dane has entered the rather exclusive club of riders who, during their careers, have triumphed after three weeks in Italy, France and Spain. (Thomas Perotto)

TUTTOSPORT
VINGEGAARD'S TEARS
NOW HE'S IN HISTORY
Incredible, even champions get emotional. The man in Pink is the eighth king of the Grand Tours. Since yesterday Jonas Vingegaard is among the eight champions capable of winning at least once the Giro, Vuelta and Tour. Yet he who has already celebrated victory in two Tours and one Vuelta cries with joy, especially when he comes before his wife Trine and children Frida and Hugo. "It's incredible to see my name engraved on the Trofeo Senza Fine — says Jonas, 29 years old —. It's something I will remember for the rest of my life. Today is a truly special day, with all these people along the streets cheering. (Alessandro Brambilla)

SMILE MILAN
Jonathan Milan's roar echoes at the Circus Maximus. He wanted it, sought it, chased it, saw it slip away from the first stage in Bulgaria and found it only at the last breath in Rome, with a surge in which he unleashed all those watts he still had in his body after three weeks of fatigue. What charged him up to break through at the crucial moment was the abundance of affection on Saturday in his Friuli, complete with a stop to embrace his family during the race and so today, heart and grit gave that extra push to cross the finish line first ahead of the surprising Lonardi at his best career result in a Giro sprint on the threshold of thirty.
