英语百科

Broom wagon

Broom Wagon at the end of a German cycle road race
Broom wagons at the Berlin Marathon

The broom wagon (not to be confused with a sag wagon) is the name for the vehicle that follows a Cycle Road Race picking up stragglers (or sweeping them up) who are unable to make it to the finish of the race within the time permitted.

In the Tour de France the vehicle used was traditionally a Citroën H Van. The expression broom wagon is a translation of the French, voiture balai, and it was seen first at the Tour de France 1910. The broom wagon of the Tour de France did indeed once carry a broom fixed above the driver's cab except in the years that it was sponsored by a vacuum-cleaner company.
