Gilbert Glaus

Gilbert Glaus is a retired Swiss professional road cyclist, born in 1955. He became the amateur world champion in 1978 and turned professional in 1982, the same year in which he won the Swiss national road race championship. In 1983 he won a stage of the Tour de France, but in the 1984 edition he was the last rider to finish the race overall and so took the lanterne rouge, the traditional name for the last-placed cyclist. He also represented Switzerland at the 1980 Summer Olympics, where he competed in the individual road race and the team time trial.
