- I added the work-parameter to the reference templates. (If I am not mistaken, these website are the work and not the publisher.) And you are absolutely correct, "fourth" is better than "4th". --EdgeNavidad (Talk · Contribs) 20:21, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
- I have one question about this sentence ---> "...trying to stop their favourite's opponents", if it can be answered, you'll have yourself a GA. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 00:28, 6 August 2010 (UTC)
- I asked the Cycling project for some help on that sentence (English is not my first language, so sometimes I produce awkward writing), and I think they came up with an excellent solution, that is now in the article. --EdgeNavidad (Talk · Contribs) 06:46, 6 August 2010 (UTC)
- I thought maybe it was an international thing at first, but the more I read it the more I knew did not make sense, so I had to bring it up. Thank you to EdgeNavidad for getting the stuff I left at the talk page, because I have gone off and placed the article as GA. Congrats. ;) -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 15:14, 6 August 2010 (UTC)
