Race Summary: Zoetemelk, Hinault, Pollentier, and Kuiper were considered the main protagonists at the start of the race. Pollentier was thrown out of the race for trying to cheat on a drug test and Kuiper broke his collerbone in a crash. On the Puy de Dome stage, Zoetemelk left Hinault 1-40 behind, but Hinault's time-trialing excellence gave him the yellow jersey after the Metz-Nancy time trial. The riders staged a go-slow strike during the Tabes-Valence stage (stage 12a) over difficult racing conditions such as a split stage after a hard stage. Stage 12a was annulled.
