GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

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 (references): 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, where possible and appropriate.

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

   File:Daniele Bennati-Vuelta a España 2011.jpg was nominated for deletion

   Deletion discussions in Commons are often extremely long, so I just hided it. As the article is very long, it may take some days to fully review it. Regards.--Kürbis (✔) 13:51, 5 August 2012 (UTC)

   Surely you're not saying you're waiting for that deletion discussion to finish. I have replaced the image in the article. It's no longer relevant. Green-eyed girl (Talk · Contribs) 19:34, 6 August 2012 (UTC)

   I did not say that I will wait until the discussion will be closed.--Kürbis (✔) 17:58, 7 August 2012 (UTC)

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

• Genesis of the new team
  • Looks good--Kürbis (✔) 08:29, 7 August 2012 (UTC)
• Spring classics:
  • One minor point: I would remove "itself" in "The second group on the road gradually whittled itself down to a select group of top favorites. "--Kürbis (✔) 08:40, 7 August 2012 (UTC)
    • Removed. Craig(talk) 11:20, 11 August 2012 (UTC)
• Fall races:
  • Define "neo-pro" in "In August, Nizzolo continued his strong neo-pro season with a fifth place ride at the GP Ouest-France, ..."
    • Link added. Craig(talk) 11:20, 11 August 2012 (UTC)
  • I don't understand this sentence: "Zaugg then showed a portend of his coming late-season form at the Giro dell'Emilia,"
    • Portend refers to this. Altered to signs. Craig(talk) 11:20, 11 August 2012 (UTC)
      • Yeah, I thought you could use that word as a noun. Evidently not :$ Green-eyed girl (Talk · Contribs) 18:26, 11 August 2012 (UTC)
  • Repetition of "behind"; suggest rewording: "eventually finishing the day in 7th place behind 21 seconds behind the winner Filippo Pozzato.[77] "
    • Doesn't need to be reworded at all; taking out the first behind and adding a comma makes the sentence flow better. Craig(talk) 11:20, 11 August 2012 (UTC)
  • Forgot signing--Kürbis (✔) 11:14, 7 August 2012 (UTC)
• Stage races:
  • There is a typo at the end: "The elder Schleck brother held his advantage through the flat stage and individual time trial on day two of the three-staage race," --Kürbis (✔) 17:34, 7 August 2012 (UTC)
    • Rectified. Craig(talk) 11:20, 11 August 2012 (UTC)
• Giro d'Italia
  • Looks good.
• Death of Wouter Weylandt
  • "Race doctor Giovanni Tredici, and the doctor for the Garmin-Cervélo team " - I would remove the comma
    • Removed. Craig(talk) 11:20, 11 August 2012 (UTC)
• Tour de France
  • Looks good.
• Vuelta a España
  • Looks good.--Kürbis (✔) 17:51, 7 August 2012 (UTC)
• rest:
  • Looks good.--Kürbis (✔) 17:58, 7 August 2012 (UTC)

Looks like Craig got the remarks taken care of. I found a few other small errors (typos mostly). Green-eyed girl (Talk · Contribs) 18:32, 11 August 2012 (UTC)

Pass Good work and a shame that it was so long in the queue. Regards.--Kürbis (✔) 20:04, 11 August 2012 (UTC)
