The competitor who finishes last in the Tour de France. The red lantern that hangs on the rear of a train. If you complete a bike race of over 3, 000 kilometres, overcoming mountain ranges & merciless weather conditions while enduring physical & psychological agony, in the slowest time, should you be branded the loser? What if your loss helped a teammate win? What if others lacked the determination to finish? What if you were trying to come last? Froome, Wiggins, Merckx
- we know the winners of the Tour de France, but Lanterne Rouge tells the forgotten, often inspirational & occasionally absurd stories of the last-placed rider. We learn of stage winners & former yellow jerseys who tasted life at the other end of the bunch; the breakaway leader who stopped for a bottle of wine & then took a wrong turn; the doper whose drug cocktail accidently slowed him down & the rider who was recognised as the most combative despite finishing at the back. Lanterne Rouge flips the Tour de France on its head & examines what these stories tell us about ourselves, the 99% who don`t win the trophy, & forces us to re-examine the meaning of success, failure & the very nature of sport.
