Review to follow shortly.Cptnono (talk) 04:18, 18 January 2015 (UTC)

Nice read. A small small things jumped out immediately (use of distance conversions and an English translation of a term, subjects facing the prose in images, etc.)


 * "a 8" should be "an 8"
 * Fixed Disc Wheel  ( Talk  +  Tontributions )  20:29, 18 January 2015 (UTC)


 * Some terms could be wikilinked or explained for those not familiar with the sport: peloton, race stage, classifications, marked, false flat
 * I linked three of those (stage, peloton, and false flat), classifications wasn't in the glossary but each classification is linked. Disc Wheel  ( Talk  +  Tontributions )  20:29, 18 January 2015 (UTC)


 * Why didn't Franco Chioccioli race?
 * He did. Disc Wheel  ( Talk  +  Tontributions )  20:29, 18 January 2015 (UTC)
 * I blame poor eyesight on my lack of reading comprehension.Cptnono (talk) 20:36, 18 January 2015 (UTC)


 * "Spanish newspaper Diari de Girona named as Indurain, Chiappucci, Laurent Fignon, and Massimiliano Lelli the main contenders to win the race." - Misplaced "as"?
 * Fixed. Disc Wheel  ( Talk  +  Tontributions )  20:29, 18 January 2015 (UTC)


 * The first paragraph of "Route and stages" didn't end with a reference. I fond myself wanting to click on one for more information.
 * It doesn't require one there since I linked the previous year's race in the sentence before, which is what I was comparing with in the final two sentences. Another reviewer said that that was allowed to be done. Disc Wheel  ( Talk  +  Tontributions )  20:29, 18 January 2015 (UTC)


 * Does the image with the caption "Frenchman Thierry Marie..." need to be clarified with "(pictured)" since it is not from the race? Very small gripe that isn't a big deal overall.
 * I got an article to FA status and a reviewer had me do that for any images that weren't from the race to give context to the image so that's why I have that there. Disc Wheel  ( Talk  +  Tontributions )  20:29, 18 January 2015 (UTC)


 * "which was won by Thierry Marie by three seconds over Miguel Indurain who came in second place ." - It is clear that he came in second.
 * Fixed. Disc Wheel  ( Talk  +  Tontributions )  20:29, 18 January 2015 (UTC)


 * Is there information on the 5th stage?
 * There is but I did not see a need to write about it since there were no general classification shifts or injuries or major events. Disc Wheel  ( Talk  +  Tontributions )  20:29, 18 January 2015 (UTC)


 * "The event's tenth stage featured a summit finish Monte Terminillo." Does this need a coma or the word "at". Alternatively drop the "a"?
 * Added a "to" Disc Wheel  ( Talk  +  Tontributions )  20:29, 18 January 2015 (UTC)


 * "and twice climbed the Monte Bondone" - Is "the" needed? (I wouldn't say "the Mount Rainier" but it could be different)
 * Fixed. Disc Wheel  ( Talk  +  Tontributions )  20:29, 18 January 2015 (UTC)


 * The first half or so of the "Race Overview" section might focus on eventual winner Indurain too much; even in stages he did not win. I was surprised at how little Cipollini was mentioned in those paragraphs/ This is just a thought and no changes are needed.
 * Haha yeah that's one downside of using spanish sources, they loved the dude. I removed his name in some spots where it wasn't very necessary. Disc Wheel  ( Talk  +  Tontributions )  20:29, 18 January 2015 (UTC)


 * Can any of the tables be sortable (not needed for Ga promotion)?
 * It's pretty standard for all the classification tables to be unsortable for all these yearly bike race articles. Disc Wheel  ( Talk  +  Tontributions )  20:29, 18 January 2015 (UTC)


 * "Aftermath" doesn't seem like the appropriate term for the section. Maybe Post-race or something?

Everything ranging from sourcing to images checks out. I don't know much about cycling and enjoyed the article.Cptnono (talk) 05:04, 18 January 2015 (UTC)


 * Thanks for addressing almost everything or responding. I see that you mentioned coming back do do a little more (which I hope you do) but it is at GA already. Nice work!Cptnono (talk) 20:36, 18 January 2015 (UTC)
