"and all of its eighteen UCI WorldTeams were entitled," - should the text in bold be changed to 18 per MOS:NUMERAL since numbers are used earlier on?
I write numerals up to "twenty" unless it's a stage, distance, exact time or if there's a few numerals in one sentence. It gets very confusing/messy when there's so many... BaldBoris 13:41, 12 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
"The three French teams and one Belgian team" - try to avoid close repetition of the same or similar word if possible
First week: Belgium, north-eastern to southern France[edit]
"but following him crashing in the closing 2 km (1.2 mi)," - I believe this section of text can be reworded a little different because I did not 100 percent understand what was supposed to state
Reworded to "Stage 1's bunch sprint finish was won by Team Jumbo–Visma's Mike Teunissen. He was iniatlly a member of the team's sprint train who were leading out their designated sprinter Dylan Groenewegen, but following Groenewegen's crash in the closing 2 km (1.2 mi), Teunissen was free to race in the sprint."

"A notable abandonment of the stage was the reigning world time trial champion Rohan Dennis (Bahrain–Merida), a favourite for the following stage's time trial." - maybe you can state the reason why Dennis withdrew from the race?
It was all rather bizarre at the time, and he only just spoke about it in January. I don't feel we need to delve into it. Now "A notable abandonment of the stage, for personal reasons, was". BaldBoris 13:41, 12 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
"achieving a "'stunning" victory on a day" - according to whom?
Changed to "unexpected". BaldBoris 13:41, 12 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delink Latin American per MOS:OVERLINK since it is a major geographical region
"These bonuses replaced the special sprints that were a feature in the 2018 edition." - perhaps it can be stated why this change occurred if that information is available

The main issues with the article are with the prose, especially with a few instances of informality and instances of future tense when it should be written in the past tense. Am going to put the review on hold to give the nominatior time to correct these errors. MWright96(talk) 19:58, 11 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
All done apart from some that'll need looking at. Thanks for the great review. BaldBoris 13:41, 12 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
