What's the usefulness of this field? I find myself removing it from every cycling event I edit. Does it conceivably serve a purpose? If not...why is it in the template? Nosleep break my slumber 05:15, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
Since teams' nations are meaningless, should this field be removed? Or would it be best to wait to do that until it's been removed from each instance of this in the article space (in case that would create an error display of some sort, I don't know). Nosleep break my slumber 19:30, 30 May 2009 (UTC)
Because I find myself looking for a next-previous edition link in the infobox, I decided to add this option. Some other sports infoboxes ( Template:Infobox tennis event, Template:Infobox Rugby World Cup, Template:Infobox International Football Competition) have it, some not ( Template:Infobox Grand Prix race report, Template:Infobox Olympic games, Template:Infobox hockey, Template:Infobox cricket tournament). If anybody objects, we can discuss it here, and if consensus is that we should not use it, we can simply remove it. And of course remarks about the visual aspects are welcome.- EdgeNavidad ( talk) 15:01, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
I tried, today, to implement a fixed minimum width in this infobox, with no luck... The problem was that it also made it a fixed maximum, so the infoboxes experienced wrapping... But to have a infobox like this looks awful! Is there anyone with the competence to make this happen?
BTW: Why isn't this template made on the standard {{ Infobox}}-template, like {{ Infobox international football competition}} and {{ Infobox International Handball Competition}} amongst many other? lil2mas ( talk) 17:30, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
There are several reasons why the average speed is not reliable in many races, especially stage races.
If the only reliable ave speed is to the nearest km/h, it is not very useful comparative info. Suggest remove the field from the template. Kevin McE ( talk) 22:59, 10 November 2011 (UTC)
Is it possible to hide the results heading when no parameters are in use? (see 2018 Tour de France) Primefac, Zyxw, Jonesey95, Frietjes. Thanks. Bald Boris 21:43, 2 July 2018 (UTC)
"Team Points" should be changed to "Team points" per MOS:LISTCAPS. Bald Boris 20:35, 3 March 2019 (UTC)

Googlebot thinks the 1999 Tour de France winner is "Lance Armstrong none". Other visually impaired users may also be unable to perceive the strikethrough. (See MOS:NOSTRIKE.) I propose putting disqualifications in separate lines, adding parameters as needed. Not sure how to order it, though.
This order retains finish order, but would be confusing if readers expect official rank order.
Lance Armstrong (USA) | (U.S. Postal Service) | |
Winner | none[a] | |
Second | Alex Zülle (SUI) | (Banesto) |
Third | Fernando Escartín (ESP) | (Kelme–Costa Blanca) |
Clearer to retain official rank order by shifting disqualifications to the bottom? With or without a horizontal line separator? With or without finish position in strikethrough?

Riders are registered in their own country, and their competitions have a nationality option in this template. Example: 2022 Tour de France Femmes
Teams are registered in countries too. See for instance
Canyon//SRAM RACING on UCI. Can you please add the team nation tag?

I'm trying to update the infobox for 2023 Tour of Britain to insert the Tour of Britain.svg into the first color field. But when I do, the code breaks, and I can't quite figure out how to fix it. When I insert the template code for the icon ('Tour of Britain') the infobox template seems to be auto-inserting the prefix of "jersey " which subsequently breaks the link. I tried inserting the whole cjersey template code, but that doesn't work either. Obviously a newcomer to using these kinds of templates, so if someone would be so kind as as to guide me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it!
Update: I found a work around, but I'm not sure if it's the appropriate one. In the edit preview, I click on the link generated by the broken code, which takes me to an upload page, where I've uploaded the image file. This works just fine, but it means uploading a duplicate, instead of using the existing file in the commons. I made the file, so there's no license issue, but it doesn't seem like the best resource allocation for wikimedia.

As per a discussion for 2022 Tour de France Femmes, MOS:UNITSYMBOLS seems to indicate that a 26h 55' 44" format is not acceptable, and we should use 26:55′44″ or 26 hr 55 min 44 sec or 26 h 55 m 44 s instead. Turini2 ( talk) 09:10, 1 December 2023 (UTC)
