Best Answer

Question doesn't make sense, as the winner doesn't finish last.

It used to be that the RIDER who finished last - but still remained in the race - was called "the red lantern". This was a reference to the red lamp hung at the last car of a train.

However, eventually the attention this brought became attractive by itself, and riders began to compete about that too, which the race organizers didn't like, and stopped the tradition.
