  Cycling domestique - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A domestique is a road bicycle racer who works solely for the benefit of his or her team and leader.
A domestique may also be called upon to sacrifice his or her bicycle if the leader crashes, although this is very rare nowadays.
Domestiques are also important for racing in a way that is in the tactical interest of their own team, or against the tactical interest of the opposing teams.

 The Delgados: Domestiques: Pitchfork Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-29)
The band wasn't just promoting the label that their core songwriting duo, Emma Pollock and Alun Woodward, started in the early 90s; they were also giving props to the then-nascent Scottish scene, which included Chemikal signees Arab Strap, Bis, and Mogwai, and which peaked during the latter part of that decade.
Despite the presence of Pollack and Woodward's familiar vocals, the approach and the sound are completely different: Instead of the well-polished cacophony of their last two albums, Domestiques has a much rawer, looser sound, almost punk in the songs' straightforward structures and simple energy.
Woodward, on the other hand, shows an inclination for meandering structures and half-developed ideas, and the concentration of his songs toward the end of Domestiques makes for a disappointing anticlimax.

 Stage 9
Lance is very fortunate to be on the most powerful time trial team in the world and I had intended to address the fact that a lot of his winning the last five Tours goes to the fact that his team has done a lot of the winning.
If your domestiques win this battle, they have broken the domestiques for the other teams and their victory forces the other team leaders to race against them while you rest on their wheels.
At least, when your team loses the battle of the domestiques, you can fight on with the hope of defeating the other domestiques and still have a chance that, though remote, with the right tactics and superior fitness, you can still beat their team leader.

 USATODAY.com - Notes: 'Domestiques' play vital role   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-29)
By Christophe Ena, AP Somewhere in the pack of riders, domestiques are ferrying food, water and sometimes clothing to their Tour teammates.
While the rest of the team is riding at 35 mph unencumbered, the domestiques are putting in almost twice as many miles ferrying their cargo.
Under informal peloton protocol, domestiques are allowed to move up the pack unencumbered if they are making deliveries.

The Goose team leader is patient and sticks behind the domestiques until a true crisis arises.
A Domestique can also land in the jet-wash. Protecting the team leader is a simple job requiring, yet again, patience.

 The Delgados : Domestiques - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
Domestiques is the sound of the Delgados developing their songcraft.
The best signs of things to come are found in "Akumulator," "4th Channel," and "Under Canvas Under Wraps." Domestiques is a strong debut album from the Delgados; it blows pretty much every other album in the genre out of the water except, of course, Peloton and The Great Eastern.
These 14 songs, getting in under the gun at 40 minutes, are the first giant steps from a band that would soon be leaping long before it looked, or so the cliché goes.

For example, a domestique might pull at the front of the pack at a slow speed.

 Tour de France: Armstrong relies on his 'domestiques' for support   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-29)
In cycling, such racers are called "domestiques" -- French for servants -- because they tirelessly serve their leaders, the Tour's top contenders.
In the fast and flat first week, when crashes are frequent because riders are still fresh, nervous and jostling for position, domestiques keep their leaders safe by racing as a group around them.
Should a leader stop for the bathroom or because of a puncture, a domestique generally will wait with him until he is finished or until the tire is changed.

 Banque de détail : trouver les nouvelles pistes   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-29)
En Europe, le mouvement de consolidation domestique a commencé vers le début des années 80, en raison notamment de la déréglementation, du constat de surcapacité traduit par le tassement progressif des marges, de l'absence de taille critique chez nombre d'acteurs, des besoins croissants en matière de système d'information.
Ces opérations de fusion domestique visent donc principalement à accroître la productivité, et à diminuer le coefficient d'exploitation, qui reste en moyenne, pour les banques françaises, supérieur à entre 65% et 70%, voire plus.
Les consolidations domestiques mobilisent des efforts très importants et il semble difficile de conduire simultanément ces rapprochements avec des opérations transfrontalières de grande ampleur.

There is usually a team leader and the other riders in the team will sacrifice their own chance of success, so that the team leader will win.
Usually a domestique, who deliberately rides hard, with the team leader or team sprinter "on his wheel".
With a few hundred yards to go to the finish line, he will then move to one side, where the protected rider then has a clear road ahead of him to win the sprint.

 In Music We Trust - Delgados, The: Domestiques
Originally released in 1997 on What Are Records?, and now on Chemikal Underground (with bonus tracks), The Delgados' debut, Domestiques shows the band's budding talents as they start to emerge.
Certainly not as powerful or as polished as their most recent full-length, Hate (Mantra Recordings), the record still has its shining moments and is a worthy listen certainly for fans, but novices as well.
And though they've gotten a lot better at this craft on later albums, on Domestiques they prove they had it from the get go and are just refining their craft with each album.

 The Delgados: Domestiques - PopMatters Music Review
For some, especially fans of their later material, this might be territory you won't want to tread again, but if that's true it's a shame, as the dual vocals of Emma Pollock and Alun Woodward have rarely sounded as lively and significant as on this.
Stripped free of much of the experimentation that would come with time, the songs on Domestiques breathe a freshness, both lyrically and musically, that sometimes escapes their later work.
Opener "Under the Canvas Under Wraps" explodes with the aforementioned enthusiasm, with Woodward's vocals muzzled in a fuzzy feedback and complimenting Pollock's alluring vocal turn with force (while also predating the fuzz box vocals of people like Jules Casablancas).

On hot days, domestiques are busy collecting drinks from the team cars following to ferry back to their leaders.
They will help to pace their team leader through the mountains and endeavour to 'lead-out' their team's sprinter and place him in the best possible position in a mass sprint finish.
Their reward for sacrificing themselves for the good of the team leader is a share of the prize money and the associated glory of contributing to a successful team.

Over the last couple years the de facto term for a domestique seems to have become lieutenant.
Domestique translates to domestic worker which translates to housekeeper, personal care provider, nanny, aid to the elderly, sick or disabled.
Domestique might not seem an apt description of a bike racer, but should everyone be a lieutenant when there are so many other ranks around?
