Is there a map of the stages published anywhere. The website is not very informative.

It's too early for maps in my opinion.

As far as I can see the stages will be the same as last year (rally timetable is virtually identical)
so this link will give some good indication

Cheers Mintex.

I really can't see why it's too early for maps. It's only 8 weeks out and the roads must be locked in and the information public by now.

One phrase - Programme sales. The later the stages are publicly known the greater the 5-euro per book income.

In my country they always reveal maps late because they don't want both illegal recce of crews and crazy driving of media/spectators through. That makes organizers problems with getting permissions for next years. It's especially important in case of private roads.

....and they are Italian you know

Seriously though, even getting the information a couple of days before the event is fine I'd say. Mostly the same roads are used so there can't really be too much variation.

Over here we don't have that issue at all. There are heavy penalties applied to competitors who are found driving the rally route even as a course of daily routine without permission so it generally doesn't happen. And media/spectators are not a problem.

With my own national series event we publish the routeas early as we possibly can - for this year's event 3 months prior. It allows poeple to plan, whether they be competitors, spectators, landowners or other regular road users.

I am a part of organisation so I can say the situation from my point of view. Of course, in every country is difficult situation. We dont have so big problems with illegal recce like for example in Belgium, but we have lot of problems with normal spectators and "journalists+photographers", who are doing the stages many days/weeks ago and they are making big problems. For sure, people in the village know in time, that their village or some roads will be closed for sure.
