Springfield, Mo. - Reporter Dave Luecking of The St. Louis Post-Dispatch newspaper rode along in the Toyota-United Prius Team Car Wednesday at the Tour of Missouri.
Writes Luecking:
"In cycling, each team’s director sportif – known in traditional ball sports as the manager or head coach – drives the team car. To make another comparison to major sports in the United States, riding shotgun in the team car is akin to sitting next to Tony La Russa in the dugout during a Cardinals game, or roaming the Rams sidelines with Scott Linehan, or standing behind the Blues bench with Andy Murray. You just don’t get that kind of access."
