I'll review this one. Zwerg Nase (talk) 13:52, 22 October 2015 (UTC)

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (reference section): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):

3. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

5. It is stable.

   No edit wars, etc.:

6. It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.

   a (images are tagged and non-free content have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

Very good article, with just smaller things needing atttention:

• You sometimes use quite unencyclopedic terms like "he was out of it" or that the peloton swept them all. You might want to search for a more factual tone there.
• Starting with stage 14, you use the same words for describing the early stages of the race, always involving the phrase "closed down within minutes" and so forth, maybe there can be more variety here?
• Stage 15: Meaningful attack sounds weird, like an attack is a philosophical act.
• Stage 18: A note should be added making clear that Armstrong subsequently was stripped of all bar 2 of his 22 stage victories.
• Stage 20: In the first paragraph, it sounds like the sprint finish is part of the course. Naturally, there was the theoretical chance that the stage was not decided by a bunch sprint.

That's it, good work so far! Cheers, Zwerg Nase (talk) 15:03, 25 October 2015 (UTC)

Hopefully resolved now. Craig(talk) 15:51, 25 October 2015 (UTC)
