List of teams and cyclists in the 1972 Tour de France
text:
The 1972 Tour de France started with the following 12 teams, each with 11 cyclists: In the previous year, Ocana was on his way to beat Merckx, when he fell as leader and had to give up. Everybody expected Merckx and Ocana to battle for the victory in 1972. Ocana felt that he could have won the 1971 Tour, and Merckx did not like the comments that he did not deserve the 1971 victory, and both wanted to show their strengths.
Merckx had won important races before the Tour started, including the 1972
