What color jersey does the Tour de France rider with the lowest time wear at the end of each day?
Jerseys aren't changed during the stage, so a rider will always finish the stage with the same jersey that he started the stage with.The rider with shortest overall time after finishing the stage will get to wear the yellow jersey the next day.
How can someone wear the yellow jersey but not have won any stage of the tour de France?
The yellow jersey goes to the guy with the overall shortest time.Let's say rider A gets the win in the 1st stage and rider B places 2nd. Next day rider C takes the win, rider A is way down there but rider B is still in 2nd place. B gets the yellow jersey b/c he has the overall shortest time.The only time a stage win will automatically give you the yellow jersey is if you win the 1st stage. Then you get to wear the yellow yersey in the next stage of the tour.
How do cycling tours work and how do they decide the overall winner?
The overall winner is the overall fastest on averagethrough the race. This rider will have the lowest aggregate time through the entire race. The implication here is that a rider doesn't have to win that many stages to be the overall winner of the race. It's enough if a rider is consistently near the top of each stage, and that the stage winners are further back in other stages. Cyclist Greg Lemond once won a Tour without ever winning a stage in the race.

What is the Yellow Jersey called in french?
In the 2009 Tour de France there are 21 separate stages. Competitors are timed during each stage and individuals times are accumulated from stage to stage. The rider with the fastest accumulated overall time at the end of each stage is awarded the yellow jersey to wear in the following stage. A rider that has made up enough time over the rest of the field that at that particular moment during a stage has accumulated the fastest time to that point in the race and therefore is said to have the virtual yellow jersey. That same rider would win the actual yellow jersey if he can keep that overall fastest accumulated time gap over the rest of the field to the end of that stage. Example 2009 Tour de France: Stage 14 - George Hincapie was 5 minutes 25 seconds down to the overall leader and yellow jersey of Italian Rinaldo Nocentini at the beginning of the stage. At one point Hincapie was almost 8 minutes ahead of Nocentini during the stage and at that moment Hincapie was said to have the virtual yellow jersey. Hincapie finished the stage only 5 minutes 20 seconds ahead of Nocentini and therefore Nocentini remained the overall race leader and in the yellow jersey for the next stage by a 5 second margin.
What does the maillot jaune signify in the tour de France?

What is a stage flat?
A stage is one part of a race that's divided into several stages, or days of racing. A flat is a flat tire, a puncture. If a rider gets a flat he has to stop riding until his support car catches up with him and provides him with a new wheel or a new bike, after which he has to ride hard to catch up with the rest of the races. This usually spoils the rider's chance of winning that stage, but might still allow him to win the overall race. At amateur level the rider might have to fix his own flat along the roadside. A star rider might call for one of his team members to trade bikes with him, allowing the star rider to continue while leaving the support rider to wait for the support canr.
