[obviously the subject should say "detailed", if a mod could fix I'd be grateful]

I have been digging around with not much success; maybe I'm just not using the right search terms but I can't seem to locate any detailed road closure info (that is not people just speculating), in particular for Stage 2, Tunitas/KMR/Skyline area. Please post links if you got 'em. Seems like info like this was readily available last year for Sierra, Hamilton, etc. but maybe I was spoiled being a Course Marshall :)

It's in the NEWS / MEDIA INFORMATION section:

Download the "course logs" for turn by turn description of each stage including estimated times. Road closures will depend on the normal usage of each road: rolling closures for busy roads, closed most of the day for hills like Sierra Road on Stage 3.

Yeah, that's one of the first places I looked, and road closures are *NOT* included in that info.

Obviously there is going to be some kind of closure...I'm looking for detailed times, duration, etc., not vague speculation.
