Pass/Fail: 

I have made some changes myself, just a little more to take care of:

The whole team classification business is confusing. As far as I understand, the regular team classificaton works like in the Tour de France, counting together the three top finishers on each stage. However, three problems arise here: 1) The fact that it is the three highest finishers of each stage, and not overall is not reflected in the lead. 2) and more importantly: Your source for the classifications is from 2008, so it is possible that this has changed since 1996. A better source should be found. 3) In the classification section, you mention only one team classification.
Route and stages: You should not use the term "individual pursuit" for a time trial, since it can be confused with the actual pursuit competition in track cycling.

Race overview: The end of the second paragraph needs to be rephrased. After the description of stage 7, you start the sentence with "In what was thought to be...", not making it clear that you speak about the next stage. A sentence later, the sentence ends apruptly after "to give Chiappucci". Give him what?
Wow, I am ashamed of this error. Fixed! Disc Wheel (T + C)  01:04, 17 August 2016 (UTC)
One paragraph later: "attack coming from Zaina and Outschakov. Zaina dropped Gontchenkov" - that does not make sense? Is it Outschakov or Gontchenkov?!

That is what I found. Good work so far. I place this on hold. Since I will be on vacation starting wednesday, promotion might take some time until next week, when I am back, so please be patient. Zwerg Nase (talk) 15:54, 15 August 2016 (UTC)

@Disc Wheel: Thank you for the changes so far. Where do we stand with the first point? Zwerg Nase (talk) 08:30, 29 August 2016 (UTC)
Zwerg Nase, Disc Wheel hasn't edited on Wikipedia since updating the article on August 17. After three weeks, it may be time to start thinking about closing the review. BlueMoonset (talk) 19:25, 8 September 2016 (UTC)
@BlueMoonset: Oh, I did not even notice that. I'll try to sort out the remaining issue myself, otherwise I'll need to fail it. Zwerg Nase (talk) 11:24, 9 September 2016 (UTC)
Since no further work is forthcoming, I will have to fail this article for now. Zwerg Nase (talk) 16:56, 15 September 2016 (UTC)

Review will follow shortly. Zwerg Nase (talk) 13:56, 12 October 2017 (UTC)

I just realized that I completely forgot about this review... will give it very soon, so sorry! Zwerg Nase (talk) 10:08, 8 November 2017 (UTC)
@Disc Wheel: Sorry for the huge delay!

Pass/Fail: 

What needs to be done:

Lead: As far as I understand, the team ranking is determined by the times of the top three riders on each stage. If so, this should be clearly stated in the lead when talking about that classification.
Teams: Some teams do not have wikilinks, even though articles exist for them (Roslotto, Panaria, etc.)
Race overview: Towards the end of the second paragraph, there's a typo at "Saeco".
The biggest issue are the classification tables at the end of the article:
Mountain's classification: There are two Buenohoras listed, which does not seem to be correct.
Also, the sources do not give a top 10 for the mountain's classification, only the top 8. So if you cannot find another source for this, please only give the top 8 in the article as well.
Other than that, very well written article. I'll put the review on hold.


### Status query
Zwerg Nase, I unfortunately have to tell you that Disc Wheel hasn't edited on Wikipedia since October 24, twelve days after you opened the review, but over a month and a half before you posted it two weeks ago. Under the circumstances, unless you can find someone else to address the issues you've raised with the article, you will probably have to fail the nomination. Should Disc Wheel eventually return, they can submit a new nomination then. Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 05:50, 22 December 2017 (UTC)

@Zwerg Nase: Apologies, just got into school break. Anywho, resolved the issues you brought up and thank you for the review. Disc Wheel (T + C)  22:22, 22 December 2017 (UTC)
Everything seems to be in order. I'll pass this gladly, congratulations! Zwerg Nase (talk) 15:23, 23 December 2017 (UTC)
