The Italians totally rocked that year, demolished virtually everyone with the superman position and the bikes. Regardless of how, they were flying. They used bigger gears than normal (hence the slower start) but could go faster overall.
Of course you couldn't beat raw talent. Boardman on his adapted Lotus bike.
