Talk:2015 Tour de France

classifying stages, country of origin for teams
I just had two questions:
 * 1) Should the sixth stage be reclassified as "hilly" since there are three KOM sections? It seems weird to fully classify it as a flat stage when those points are being awarded.
 * 2) Why do we not include country of origin flags for the teams? The tour website does and each team's wiki page notes the teams country. Bullshark44 (talk) 14:19, 9 July 2015 (UTC)


 * Re: stage classification - shouldn't we follow the classifications given in the official reference (http://www.letour.com/le-tour/2015/us/overall-route.html)? At least, we currently have some conflicting information about stage 3, as the table claims it's medium mountains, while the text above refers to it as being classified flat. --David Edgar (talk) 22:02, 17 July 2015 (UTC)

Favourite or favorite?
I'm British, so I spell it favourite, but I believe Americans spell it favorite. What should be used for this article? BaldBoris 17:40, 23 July 2015 (UTC)


 * A bit late, but WP:RETAIN covers it. "When an English variety's consistent usage has been established in an article, maintain it in the absence of consensus to the contrary". As this isn't an American race, then the English usage is fine.  Lugnuts  Dick Laurent is dead 10:13, 27 July 2015 (UTC)

Winning time speed
Does speed of Froome's winning time speed of 39.64 km/h take in the addition of the time bonuses he accumulated during the race? BikeRaceInfo is the source currently given for the speed; although it's a reliable source, I don't think they've removed the time bonuses. There's no mention in the Tour's official tech partner's data review. Should it be taken out completely? BaldBoris 00:47, 30 July 2015 (UTC)


 * Froome only got 20 bonus seconds: 6 on stage 3, 10 on stage 10, 4 on stage 19. That doesn't change the rounding to 39.64 km/h. If we assume exactly 3360.3 km and ignore all the more important factors than bonus seconds in a "real" average, his average only drops from 39.6399 to 39.6373 if we add 20 seconds to his official winning time.

 * And on several other stages, he was given the time of the rider at the front of the group, although he finished some time later, particularly in Paris and Le Havre. The recorded time is essentially a score, not a reliable record of actual time spent between start and finish points.  Also, who records the time interval between the clock starting and any individual rider crossing the line of the départ real? Average speed is not reliable.

Team classification
Hi, I propose table layout above. e.g.: uses the same colors of the jerseys as in the article above and at the moment the layout of the title Final general classification (1–10) is different to the layout of Final general classification (11–160). --W like wiki (talk) 19:10, 14 July 2016 (UTC)
 * I think it's better to bring this up on WT:CYC as you're proposal won't just be for this page, but or all races. BaldBoris 19:22, 14 July 2016 (UTC)
 * good idea! by the way: the position of the tables differs from year to year, e.g.: in 2015 the points classification is below the General classification, in 2014 it's to the right. In 2015 the title is Final standings, in 2014 Classification standings. --W like wiki (talk) 19:39, 14 July 2016 (UTC)
 * If the proposed change is purely aesthetic based on the colour of jersey and corresponding box then I don't think this is needed. We have enough other boxes which denote jersey colour/wearers so I dont think we need anything else. XyZAn (talk) 20:41, 15 July 2016 (UTC)
