Route of the 1978 Tour de France

The 1978 Tour de France was the 65th edition of the Tour de France, one of cycling's Grand Tours. The Tour began in Leiden, the Netherlands, with a prologue individual time trial on 29 June, and Stage 12a occurred on 12 July with a flat stage from Tarbes. The race finished in Paris on 23 July.

Stage 12a[edit]

12 July 1978 – Tarbes to Valence d'Agen, 158 km (98 mi)[1]

The stage was neutralised after a protest, by the peloton, about split stages.[2] The peloton rode slowly throughout the stage, and came to a stop 100 m (330 ft) before the finish line. The riders then dismounted their bikes, crossing the finish line on foot, and the stage was cancelled by the race commissaires.[1]
