The Sports Directors drive thousands of kilometres behind the race but there's a lot more to the job than getting behind the wheel of a team car.
In this episode of Kilometre 0, Lionel Birnie meets some of the Sports Directors working on the Tour de France to find out about this role that requires them be a father-figure, older brother, best mate, teacher, mentor and manager to the riders.
Kilometre 0 is supported by Nederburg.
