Broom Wagon
A broom wagon is a vehicle that follows a cycling road race "sweeping" up stragglers who are unable to make it to the finish 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 1910 Tour.
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. Likewise, in other road cycling races it is not rare to see real brooms affixed to the broom wagon.
These broom wagons were built for my Poly Peloton series
