 * Review Symbol confirmed.svg Good to go! Promoted to GA, timely nominated. Meets core policies and guidelines, and in particular: is neutral; cites sources with inline citations; is free of close paraphrasing issues, copyright violations and plagiarism.  DYK nomination was timely and article is easily long enough.  Every paragraph is cited. No copyright violations or too close paraphrasing.  Picture is used, properly licensed and looks good at 100 pix.  In passing, I note that I did not have access to the offline sources.  Earwig's copy violation detector: 1907 Tour de France report gives it a clean bill. Hook is hooky enough, I think, and relates directly to the essence of the article.  It is interesting, decently neutral, and appropriately cited. The hook is supported by this source: Chany, Pierre; Cazeneuve, Thierry (1985). La Fabuleuse Histoire du Tour de France (in French). France: ODIL. ISBN 2-8307-0689-7. I did not have access to the book, but I WP:AGF  QPQ done, although article is not yet promoted (not required). A good addition to Wikipedia Cycling project!  Well Done!! 7&amp;6=thirteen (☎) 22:33, 17 December 2015 (UTC)
