Some comments

@Zwerg Nase: hi! I saw this just passed GA, but I read it and saw some things I think could be improved: the lead still looks quite short compared to the article length, and would be even shorter if the infobox weren't so wide, so I feel it might need another paragraph. Also, the bullet point about Le Mond's shirt below the final standings table seems out of place. Could it be expanded to give some context? I also think it would serve better as an explanatory footnote within the table. Best, Kingsif (talk) 03:07, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Kingsif: Hey! I was also rather surprised at the quick pass... I will turn towards the lead and expand it before I enter the article for FA. As for the note on LeMond, that is the convention in the WikiProject, so if that were to change, it would need to be done for all Tour de France articles...
