Going to be reviewing this article as part of the GAN Backlog Drive of April to May 2020. MWright96 (talk) 19:40, 28 May 2020 (UTC)

Thank you for picking this up! I have made two small changes, but I think, it should be good now. The infobox might be a little confusing now. But as I state in the article body, he had his contract terminated in 2000, but only officially retired in 2001, that's why the two dates don't quite match.

 Done

• "Berzin still demanded higher pay" - the word in bold doesn't look like its needed since they is no mention of any other mention of him demanding higher wages in the article

Actually, there is, at the end of the preceding paragraph.

• "Nevertheless, he was now viewed as the new big name in international cycling." - viewed by whom?

It was in the source, but I removed it, it's a little iffy.

 Done

1995–1996: Ups and Downs

Quoted the source as best I could.

• "which included a split from his wife Stella." - he and his wife Stella separating.

 Done

I guess he just had what cycling jargon calls a jour sans, but I cannot find a source for that.

• Val d'Isere is missing the hyphen between "Val" and "d'"

 Done, well spotted!

• "on his way to eventual overall victory." - en route

 Done
