Broom wagon

If a cyclist chooses to continue behind the broom wagon, they cease to be part of the convoy (and the race), and must then follow the usual traffic rules and laws.

However, in some instances, the Broom Wagon is able to assist and help riders back into their saddle, allowing them to finish within the time cut.

During stage six of the 2001 HP Women's Challenge, Emily Westbrook of the Contender Bicycles team had fallen twice and was close to giving up the race.

Overlie provided encouragement and basic triage, helping Westbrook to rally and finish the race just 15 seconds before the cut-off.

This allows these companies to fully stock the vehicles with wine, kitchens, and gear, creating a luxurious experience for travelers.
