Will post the profile when it becomes available, but this one appears dead flat.

All the profiles are at the Gazzetta.it site: http://www.gazzetta.it/Speciali/Giroditalia/2009/tappe_en_09.shtml

And yes, it's flat as a board. Assuming they don't have to hop over any gondolas. ;)

There's always a devil lurking in Italy. I bet the thing has some really curvy bits...

A couple, but not really.

I would say garmin ftw, but they included tom danielson on the team.

He hasn't embarrassed himself yet this season, in fact he's been (amazingly) pretty solid. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt on this one. Besides, if he gets dropped, it's not like it would be the end of the world. I'm pretty sure they dropped Millar in the last k last year, still won.

What's the "spoiler" policy this time around, by the way? Should we assume that Stage threads will include spoilers?

Yes. The stickied threads are fair for spoiling.
