2006 Giro

I'm going to the final 3 stages of the Giro this year. Does anyone know
if the Giro or someone else publishes the exact route at some point? I
have the start/finishes and major climbs, but I would like to know the
roads they will ride.

Has anyone been to the finish in Milan? Do you know what part of Milan
is the best place to stay to be close to the finish and a place that
has good restuarants, etc?

Thanks.

You can deduce some of the route from the elevation profiles. In the
mountains there's usually only 1 road between point A and point B.

As far as I know, the exact route only gets published in the (local
Italian) newspapers a few days in advance.

Here you read all about Giro D'Italia.
The Finish is in Milan, Corso Venezia (underground Porta Venezia).
Milan is a very expensive city. You can have dinner in Ristorante Al
Mercante, in Piazza dei Mercanti, in front of Duomo. Very nice is the area
arounbd Naviglio Grande with charateristic locals where you can drink beer,
wine and listen good music.
Another good area is Garibaldi (underground Garibaldi). You can have dinner
in "Alle Langhe Restaurant" in Corso Como.
