   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)
