I've just seen the profiles (thanks to the guys at http://forum.cicloweb.it/viewforum.php?f=2 ).
A few minor disappointments (imola is disgusting) and one minor good surprise (Sappada).
All in all, everything confirmed.

I just linked it for props, but i got them via pm
They are in the official giro website already, you just have to figure out the right path sorry but I'm at the phone and copy pasting 21 links ain't a piece of cake.

Here you go guys.

This stage to Imola is so awful. And the last one, too. This is not Le Tour, damn it.

Has the presentation already started on Italian TV?
The livestream on their website isn't working atm.

Livestream is working fine. Make sure to disable all ad blockers and stuff.

Shimano confirms Froome.

 

[May0maniac]

A bit cringey, but at least it's not a snoozefest like the Tour de France presentation.

 

[Netserk]

Too easy mountain stages for Landani? Still, the route is fine for him. Let's pray he'll be able to save the Giro.

 

[May0maniac]

The 2 stages before Etna are harder than expected.

Easy to controll for Sky. They know how to cool down Landani.

Froome to win this in Bugno style. Rosa from 1 to 21.

Vuelta la Italia

Please Tom, save us from Froome .

The Sappada stage is just awesome, they are actually using the Costaldissoio climb like I suggested, great news.
The climb features 3km at 10%, it's in the same league as Mende.
2 of my favourite training climbs back to back in one stage, it's just awesome.

 

[fauniera]

They clearly made the parcours for Froome. Crap.

SHimano deleted it after a few minutes

 

[May0maniac]

Not the easiest Giro to do the double, only 45km of ITT and every single week is really hard.
The easier mountain stages might help him, but it's a hard Giro.
LoL, Francesco Moser shaking his head when they asked Dumoulin about the route, he's probably disgusted by the lack of TT km.

One of the better stages.

how?

Minimizing the chance of chaos as much as possible. No multi mountain stages until the final weekend. One climb stages everywhere, perfect for Froome.

Yes, and it comes right after the hard Zoncolan MTF, it should be pretty good.
