Why are there separate pages for stages recaps? They should be combined into the main article, similar to the 2008 Giro dItalia page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.213.245.177 (talk) 05:07, 10 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Per the Tour de France coverage we do each year. The "stage recaps" on 2008 Giro d'Italia are nothing but tables. There's actual prose on the stage recap pages. If you think they're such a problem, do an AFD. Don't fall asleep ^zzzzzz 03:17, 13 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Astana

Yes, Astana is the capital city of Kazakhstan, and the team's heritage is of that nation. That doesn't change the fact that their license is held in Luxembourg (before the management switch, it was held in Switzerland), and that's what we go by for the teams list and the Team Classification standings table. Consider that Tinkoff Credit Systems has their license in Italy, but their heritage in Russia, and Barloworld has their license in England, but their heritage in South Africa. It's not uncommon. Please don't change Astana's nation on this page. Thanks. Don't fall asleep ^zzzzzz 03:17, 13 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Mountains color

It's awfully hard to read the name with that color. It was much more visible with the old color, and it was only changed because an edit summary called it the "true" KOM color. Well, based on what? The jersey is pink, and bgcolor=hotpink is a lot more visible than the current color. Unless there's an awfully good reason to change it from that color, I'm going to change it back in a short while.

Also, Van Avermaet's points classification lead after stage 20 is not insurmountable, so he should not have been penned in as the winner already. He probably will still win it, and thus I'm not going to change it, but it was irresponsible to do that when he only had a 5 point lead (and only 13 on Valverde, who could easily go for it in a mass sprint).
