Icons

What do the icons against the names of Armstrong & Leipheimer indicate? Daemonic Kangaroo (talk) 16:49, 4 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The icoms indicate that they are wearing yellow numbers as Team Radioshack are currently leading the team classification. Racklever (talk) 22:43, 4 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Can this be included in the legend, please? Daemonic Kangaroo (talk) 05:30, 5 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sure. I just copied that key from the Giro recap articles and changed the jersey color. There's no on-road representation for the teams classification in the Giro. Nosleep (Talk · Contribs) 07:12, 5 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

s.t.

In the legend it says on the article is says this "s.t. indicates that the rider crossed the finish line in the same group as the one receiving the time above him, and was therefore credited with the same finishing time." So it doesn't just apply to the stage winner right? ThurstAsh13 (talk) 16:45, 5 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think we've ever really conclusively decided this. There's no uniformity in how results are presented in cycling websites (cyclingnews just leaves the line blank for any tied riders, the UCI website uses +0" for anyone tied with the stage winner and then gives exact gaps for every other rider, the Vuelta's website uses m.t. (mismo tiempo) for riders tied with the stage winner and then gives exact gaps for each individual rider behind the peloton, VeloNews uses s.t. and then exact gaps, letour.fr uses +0" and then exact gaps). We probably should decide one way or the other how to use this. Lately, it's been only for riders tied with the stage winner, but I'm not sure when or why that was decided. I don't see any site using "s.t." for riders tied behind the stage winner, though. We did used to do that (it's probably still present on some pages).

I was looking back at some old Tours and they are used, for any same times. ThurstAsh13 (talk) 19:10, 6 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Contador on Stage 3

Did he really have a flat tyre when he dropped off the back of the group at the end? Astana's web site just mentions a "problem with the rear wheel"; the ITV commentators said it was a broken spoke.Mr Larrington (talk) 13:56, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Phil Liggett suspected he had flatted. I couldn't really tell (but I didn't write anything other than the mini-"previews" in this article). Nosleep (Talk · Contribs) 23:33, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
