I am nominating this for featured list because I believe the list meets the criteria and will form part of a featured topic on Grand Tour winners of which this is the parent list. Thanks in advance for your comments NapHit (talk) 00:30, 18 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comments
  • "are the three most prestigious" suggest you find some references to back your opinion up here!
  • "They are the only stage race permitted " races?
  • "career are; Jacques Anquetil," not sure you need the semi-colon at all.
  • "Contador is the youngest to win all the Grand Tours, and he completed the feat in 14 months which is the shortest amount of time that anyone has won the Grand Tours in" yuck, "Contador is the youngest, at xxx years, and quickest to win every Tour, completing the feat in 14 months." (you fill in xxx with truth).
  • Grand Tours or grand tours? Consistency.
  • "t is rare for cyclists to ride all grand tours in the same year; in 2004, 474 cyclists started in at least one of the grand tours, 68 of them rode two Grand Tours and only two cyclists started in all three grand tours." perhaps "... one of the Grand Tours, 68 rode two and two cyclists started all three..."?
  • " Lance Armstrong has won the most Tour's," potentially confusing, so refer to it in full "the most Tours de France"
  • Same in Coppi's caption.
  • I would have put cyclist before nationality in the table.
  • "Johan de Muynck" not "De".
  • Tony not Toni Rominger (caption).
  • Strictly, it's a table of winners by nationality, not by country.

Comments –
  • "No cyclist has won all three Grand Tours in the same year, the only cyclists to win all three Grand Tours in their career are,...". I would make the first comma a semi-colon and get rid of the second colon.
  • "Lance Armstrong has won the most Tour de France's". The apostrophe doesn't need to be there.
  • For the photo captions, there should be commas after the names of Bernard Hinault, Lance Armstrong, Alberto Contador, Alfredo Binda, and Jan Ullrich. Also, "their" should be changed to "his" in Contador's caption, and in Ivan Basso's caption, the comma would be better served as a semi-colon (or it could be changed to the "Name, who has won" form).
  • If the magazine in reference 5 is a printed one, it needs italics. Giants2008 (27 and counting) 15:31, 27 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comments: List is good, but prose can gain little more lines. I guess few points can be added there:
  • Description of the ranking procedure, which could explain how cyclists are ranked on the basis of their total wins, and how rank is provided when they are still tied (listed alphabetically with same rank).
  • Andy Hampsten is the only non-European cyclist who has won The Giro. Kazakhstan, U.S. and Colombia are the only non-European nations that have winners, or some more facts like this.

Thanks for the comments, I've added your suggestions apart from one which is the mention of Kazakhstan as I can't find a reference for it unfortunately, all the rest is in order though. NapHit (talk) 16:26, 30 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • their is→there is a, (When their is tie).
  • I guess reference 2 is ASP not PDF.
done thanks again NapHit (talk) 17:50, 30 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
