The team car is a support car that accompanies a bike race. It contains individuals such as the director of the team, a mechanic, and a caretaker. It serves as the home of the team throughout the race.
The car assists in logistics, delivers food and liquids, communicates to riders via radio, and deals with mechanical issues. Spare bikes, the wheels, tools, and spare parts are all stored in and on the car. In the crucial moments, the service car comes in handy—either dispensing liquids or replacing a tire in a jiffy. Communication through the radio between the car and rider ensures the race schedule gets updated.
