usage of "peloton"
69.151.250.5 (talk) 06:19, 31 July 2008 (UTC)This word also has been used for men at the head of a military formation on parade. See the 1886 military plate "Cuirassiers Peloton D'Escorte," by the well-known French military artist Edouard Detaille. Depicted are two "heavy" calvarymen in battle dress preceding a calvary formationa in dress uniform.
" A similar situation occurs at the end of the race when teams will cluster in front of their sprinter, blocking the wind as long as possible while still leaving an open path in front for the sprinter to break out near the finish line" Actually with a sprint or bunch-sprint finish what then happens is that the teams form 'leadouts' for their sprinter. Teams tend to form a single file paceline with the sprinter last. The front pulls for all he's worth until he can't maintain pace at which time he drops off and the next leader pulls. The idea here is to conserve the sprinter's energy until they decide to make their break for the line.
