Question: If you complete over 3,000 kilometres on a bike in France, overcoming mountain ranges and torrential weather conditions while enduring physical and psychological agony in the 150th fastest time, should you be branded the loser? What if the sacrifice helped a team mate win? What if others lacked the determination to finish? What if you were trying to come last? Lanterne Rouge tells the absurd and often inspirational stories of the last placed rider in the Tour de France.
Enjoyable and well researched book that was very easy to read. Essentially it is about people, not sport, and this made it easy to connect to.
