Default Time to make the unofficial Lanterne Rouge in the Tour de France official

It's time to make the unofficial Lanterne Rouge in the Tour de France official, as it is official in the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race, another brutal competition, where it honors finishing a race in which fewer people have finished than have ascended Mount Everest, and even multiple champions in off-years say they would honored by the recognition of the effort. See http://www.bbc.com/sport/wales/40691555

Luke Rowe rode the race with a broken rib to support his team leader, Chris Froome to the yellow jersey. His energy spent, Rowe then came last on the penultimate stage.
