Thanks people,
by the way, watching the the presentation last night I realized I did have one prize wrong in my missive.
The dreaded fluffy lion is actually given to the wearer of the yellow jersey on each day it is won. The winner of the stage actually gets a ubiquitous engraved-perspex-on-a-stand trophy.

oh, and while I wrote about the TDF, the same general things apply to all tours, - only the colours of the jerseys change. for instance the TDF Yellow Jersey is ochre-orange in Australia's Tour down under, and pink in the Giro de Italia
