Tour de France was interrupted during World War 1 and 2.
As of the 2008 Tour de France, no British cyclist has ever won the Tour. One British cyclist, Robert Millar, was King of the Mountains in 1984.
Pretty much so. It was cancelled during WW1 and WW2, but apart from that it's a regular event.
In the 1919 Tour de France, just 11 Riders out of 69 entrants finished. This was also the slowest ever tour. http://www.bikeraceinfo.com/tdf/tdfstats.html
There is no official red jersey that means anything in le tour de france. You might have seen a team jersey with a lot of red in it. There used to be a red jersey, awarded for intermediate sprints points, but it wasn't that useful and was cancelled in 1989.
