Let's start at the major problems. The "Major results" and "Results Timeline" sections cite no sources at all. Both of these should be fixable, but this article can't be a GA with two glaringly unsourced sections like this. I'll go ahead and review the rest of the article, but nothing that's coming is going to be as big as this. Courcelles (talk) 17:10, 23 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

"She considered quitting the sport after she suffered in the back" Suffered what? Merely being in a bad placement? If that is it, "suffered" isn't the word you want.
Source her birthdate somewhere.
Wikilink domestique somewhere.
"Van der Breggen turned professional in 2012 with the Sengers Ladies Cycling Team. In July, she won the Tour de Bretagne Féminin. She won three of the four stages and secured the overall classification with a lead of almost three minutes over Sofie De Vuyst. She also won the time trial at the Tour Féminin en Limousin as well as the gold medal in the women's under-23 time-trialling event at the European championships." Prose is fine, where are the sources?
"September in Richmond," Specify Virginia.
Her Bronze Olympic medal is also worth recounting in the prose.
"After placing 15th in both the Ronde van Drenthe and the Tour of Flanders, and finishing second overall in the Healthy Ageing Tour in early 2017, van der Breggen became the first woman to win all three of the Ardennes classics in a single year." More unsourced stuff. Make sure everything is sourced.

Is this fixable in a week? I don't know, but the article is well-written, so I'm willing to give you a chance. On hold. Courcelles (talk) 17:21, 23 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Dr.robin: This is your nomination, any plans? Courcelles (talk) 14:23, 27 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Dr.robin: Last notice, this thing will fail, likely tomorrow night, if you keep editing and don't respond here in at least a trivial manner. Courcelles (talk) 23:55, 1 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Failed due to inactivity. Feel free to renominate it when you're ready to work on the article. Courcelles (talk) 15:35, 4 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
