I've listed this article for peer review to get feedback on a road cycling race article.
In
WikiProject Cycling, there is need for standardisation of articles. There currently is one featured article on a cycling race, (
Cycling at the 2008 Summer Olympics – Men's road race), but this is about a one-day event and not about a stage race.
Many articles in this project are about cycling stage races. I would like to have feedback on the general standard of a road cycling stage race article, and chose the
1906 Tour de France as an example.
I chose the
1906 Tour de France article because I think it is close to the preferred style, but this is just my opinion. The
1903–
1911 Tour de France articles have the same style.
Although feedback on the content would also be nice, I am really asking for feedback on the general layout. Some things about the layout:
Everything here is open for discussion. From the big outline to the smallest details, such as which hyphens to use, where to add/remove spaces, table alignment. What would please me the most are remarks that are not specific to the 1906 Tour de France article, but that apply to all cycling race layouts.

Comments from Brianboulton
First, I found the article rather slight, lacking in detail. Secondly, I don't think the structure of the article is right, and thirdly, the prose is rather rough and, in many cases, unsuitable for an encyclopedia article. I have provided a list of detailed comments, mainly relating to the prose, but your main tasks, I believe, are to expand and restructure the article. Here is my suggestion for a revised structure:-
The following are my detailed prose points. Some of these will be lost in the rewriting/expansion, but they give you an idea of where I think the prose problems lie, and should help you in tour rewriting:-
Please note that I am not able to watch peer review pages, so if you wish to take up any point with me, I will respond if you ping my talkpage. Brianboulton ( talk) 15:36, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
