what is the question? IS there a Lanterne Rouge? Then yes, there is. It is the last place finisher in Paris at the end of the three-week race.
Yes.
'Lanterne Rouge'means 'red lamp'. Back in the days of steam trains and crude signal systems, the last car had a red lamp hanging off itin case the train should be caught up by another train. The last rider gets compared to the last part of a train basically.
the last cyclist used to receive 'la cuillère de bois' (a wooden spoon), which was a valueless trophy but used to bring some fame to the cyclist. It is out of fashion nowadays.There is no official prize or monetary reward. The last-place rider simply gets the prestige of being known as the "lanterne rouge" or "red lantern," signifying the red lights at the tail or caboose of a train.The last rider in the Tour de France is historically referred to as the "Lanterne Rouge" (meaning: Red Lantern). This is a reference to the older trains which hung a red lantern off the last car to signify the end of the train.
