The big favourite was Hinault; not only was he the defending champion, but the large number of time trials made the race especially suited for him.[3] The only cyclist though to be able to seriously challenge Hinault was Zoetemelk, the runner-up of the previous edition.[3]

gollark: LB?
gollark: I had a Wileyfox Swift with that (dead because of the USB port thing), but they're no longer sold and I don't think replacement parts exist either.
gollark: Hmm, I think I actually know someone with one of those still.
gollark: Does anyone know of phones with removable batteries (and good availability of said batteries), no notch, an LCD (not OLED) screen, a μSD card slot, decent battery life, and some custom ROM support, which is still produced or fairly available used? Do any even exist now?!
gollark: Since my current device doesn't have a replaceable battery, and is becoming increasingly less usable, I don't know *what* I'll replace it with which won't break in the same ways.
