1. It is reasonably well written.

   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:

As you can see, I have made some small changes myself, I hope you are OK will all of them. Just four things remain from my point of view:

• Optional: I feel that cycling articles usually use British English, not American. Naturally, since this event took place in Canada, one might argue that this speaks for using Canadian English. However, I would rate consistency with other cycling articles higher. Then again, there does not seem to be a clear consensus of the WikiProjekt to use British English either. So I'll leave up to you if you want to change it.

I think the practice is that you just have to be consistent so I'll just stick with American. Disc Wheel (T + C) 19:29, 28 March 2016 (UTC)

• Race summary, last paragraph. In the second sentence you name the riders in the chase group, but not Merckx. But he was in there right? So he should be included.

Fixed. Disc Wheel (T + C) 19:29, 28 March 2016 (UTC)

• Aftermath: When speaking about Merckx Triple Crown, you should point out which Grands Tour he won that year.

Fixed. Disc Wheel (T + C) 19:29, 28 March 2016 (UTC)

• Aftermath: The sentence starting with "Taylor emphasized" is pretty long and also grammatically a mess. I would recommend cutting it into two sentences, with the second starting after "two of them finished".

Fixed, I think I made it less awkward. Disc Wheel (T + C) 19:29, 28 March 2016 (UTC)

Overall, a well researched and written article on a race so long passed. Good work! Zwerg Nase (talk) 18:26, 28 March 2016 (UTC)

I believe I've fixed everything you've outlined, thanks for the review! Disc Wheel (T + C) 19:29, 28 March 2016 (UTC)

Very good, this is now a good article. Congratulations :) Zwerg Nase (talk) 20:12, 28 March 2016 (UTC)
