You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.234.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:36, 2 January 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

A '''''directeur sportif''''' ([[French language|French]] for [[sporting director]], although the original French term is often used in English-language media; plural ''directeurs sportifs'') is a person directing a [[cycling team]] during a [[road bicycle racing]] event.  It is seen as the equivalent to a field manager in baseball, or a head coach in football. At professional level, a directeur sportif follows the team in a car and communicates with riders, personnel and race officials by [[radio]].

The directeur sportif warns of obstacles or challenging terrain, updates the team on the situation in the race, and provides mechanical help.  The car carrying the directeur sportif also usually carries a [[bicycle mechanic]] with spare [[bicycle|bikes]], [[bicycle wheel|wheels]] and parts.  It also carries spare water bottles, food and medical equipment.

Since the late 1990s, the role has increased, in keeping with better team cohesion, tactics and [[telecommunication|communication]] and [[telemetry]] equipment.  The directeur sportif can have split times, find where riders from other teams are in the race, and dictate orders to riders.  This has made teamwork and tactics more important.

A directeur sportif can also be involved in the riders' training and racing programme. Many are former professionals, such as [[Johan Bruyneel]] and [[Sean Yates]].

[[Gord Fraser (cyclist)|Gord Fraser]] described his role as directeur sportif as follows:<ref>((cite web |url=http://www.bicycling.com/racing/wheel-and-still-race |title=At the Wheel, and Still in the Race |last1=Sumner |first1=Jason |date=21 February 2012 |website=[[Bicycling (magazine)|Bicycling]] |access-date=28 September 2016))</ref>

((Quote|text=Probably the first thing is that I’m the person who has to come up with a tactical plan at the races that will maximize the potential of the team. I’m also a motivator. I have to have a good eye for talent. I have to have recruitment skills. I have to be good with media and sponsors. And it’s best if I’m not a reckless driver since I spend so much time driving in close proximity to people riding bikes. But really, it all goes back to having the right plan in place, and coming up with a good set of options, then making sure those scenarios are communicated to the riders so they can execute that strategy during the race.))

Several directeurs sportifs are also associated with famous riders whom they have nurtured. [[Patrick Lefevere]] with [[Johan Museeuw]] and [[Tom Boonen]], [[Cyrille Guimard]]'s relationship with [[Lucien Van Impe]], [[Bernard Hinault]], and later [[Laurent Fignon]] as well as a young [[Greg LeMond]] prior to his Tour victories; [[Jean de Gribaldy]] with [[Sean Kelly (cyclist)|Sean Kelly]] and [[Joaquim Agostinho]]; and Bruyneel with [[Lance Armstrong]] are examples. Others include Guillaume “Lomme” Driessens who was a Directeur for [[Eddy Merckx]] and [[Roger Legeay]] who directed LeMond during his win in the [[1990 Tour de France]].
