Teams

 * "announced the four second-tier UCI Professional Continental teams given wildcard invitations," - that were given wildcard invitations
 * "Each squad was allowed a maximum of nine riders, resulting in a start list total of 198 riders." - reptition of "riders"

Pre-race favourites

 * "first was in the peloton around 1 km (0.6 mi) to go" - left
 * Put the 6mm figure into a convert template and have the figure also represented in inches
 * "The following day was the Tour's first rest rest day." - remove the second "rest"
 * "with Froome holding a 23 second advantage." - 23-second

Classification leadership

 * "while the best young rider and most combative rider got €20,000" - try collected in place of "got" for variety

UCI rankings

 * "The points accrued by Chris Froome moved him up to sixth from twentieth" - moved him from twentieth to sixth
