Default Lanterne Rouge

The last stage rode right by the bike shop of 1972 Lanterne Rouge Alain
Bellouis,
which is near the start of the cote de Gif-sur-Yvette.

Superb effort by Vansevenant to get 2 minutes on the last stage just
amazing. I thought that 6 seconds sprint bonus had actually ruined
it for him.
