What year did British riders start in the Tour de France

More Bragging rights if you can name them

And more still if you can tell us what was the last stage they
FINISHED

Bill Burl started the 1937 Tour. He made it to Lille on
the first day as the lanterne rouge, then abandoned on
the way to Charleville.

Charlie Holland also started the Tour that year, along
with Burl and the Canadian Pierre Gachon. Gachon didn't
even make it to Lille.

Holland survived until the *triple* stage 14. Stage 14a
was a short 99k sprinters' roll from Perpignan to Bourg
Madame. Stage 14b went 59k and brought them to the
Pyrenees at Ax les Thermes where Holland finished DFL.

Stage 14c went into the mountains to Luchon. Not that it
mattered to Holland.
