The Tour de France is rolling around again in a few weeks, so I'd better answer this suggestion. Whatever the reason peloton has been absent from our list in the past, it is certainly in plenty of dictionaries now, so I will add it as a rare word.
I sometimes think of the Chihuahua scoreboard in terms of a peloton, especially when a puzzle has only recently started. The chart under the scoreboard sometimes shows a sizable peloton, but with a few players having broken away to form a leading group. That's the group you'd like to be in. You certainly don't want to be in the autobus, the group straggling along behind the peloton.
