- After riding strongly in the first two weeks of the race and being the closest GC contender to Eddy Merckx, Luis Ocaña crashed, in the Pyrenees, leaving Merckx to battle Cyrille Guimard for the win.
- Guimard, having won four stages, had to leave the race after stage 17 in second place, but was given the combativity award after the race.
