From the 210 riders that began this edition, 132 made it to the finish in Paris.

Jim Ochowicz, 's founder and manager, met with the Amaury Sport Organisation and persuaded them to invite his team. In the Spring, the team withdrew from competition in Europe due to the United States conflict with Libya, losing out on much needed competitive racing unavailable in the United States.
