lanterne rouge (francese | sostantivo): il concorrente che arriva ultimo al Tour de France Froome, Wiggins, Merckx: conosciamo i vincitori del Tour de France, ma che dire degli uomini che arrivano ultimi? Lanterne Rouge racconta le storie dimenticate, spesso stimolanti e occasionalmente assurde dell'ultimo corridore classificato. Scopriamo di vincitori di tappa ed ex maglie gialle che hanno assaporato la vita all'altra estremità del gruppo; del leader della fuga che si è fermato per una bottiglia di vino e poi ha preso una svolta sbagliata; del dopato il cui cocktail di farmaci lo ha rallentato accidentalmente e del corridore che è stato riconosciuto come il più combattivo nonostante sia arrivato in fondo. Capovolgendo il Tour de France ed esaminando cosa queste storie ci dicono di noi stessi, il 99% che non vince il trofeo, Lanterne Rouge ci costringe a riesaminare il significato di successo, fallimento e la natura stessa dello sport. "Un resoconto vivace di uomini in gran parte dimenticati... Non è facile trovare un'angolazione originale su Le Tour, ma con questa visione posteriore Leonard è riuscito nell'impresa con stile" Independent on Sunday
