Route of the 2012 Giro d'Italia also leaked - maybe

Quite a coincidence
A strange day for the Grand Tours as Giro d’Italia route also leaked VeloNation is reporting that tuttobiciweb.it discovered an "unprotected page in its English language section that listed each stage." If the leak is correct and not a suspected attention getter (I think) for the man and the website that reported on Fabian Cancellara's doped up bike, it could contain good news of a 32.2km team time trial to the city of Verona, plus the final stage as an individual time trial around Milan. 
I am not quite sure of this latest revelation. It has not been confirmed as official. The official route (Corsa Rosa) of the 2012 Giro d'Italia will be announced October 16th, in Milan.
This is one strange day for route announcements
