List of teams and cyclists in the 1979 Tour de France
Appearance
In the 1979 Tour de France, the following 15 teams each sent 10 cyclists, for a total of 150:[1][2]
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 thought to be able to seriously challenge Hinault was Zoetemelk, the runner-up of the previous edition.[3]
