Peloton

[Rihanna]

I believe that peloton means the main pack of riders. In a race you would have the superhuman leaders out in front, then the rest would be grouped together in the peloton.
The definition at [dictionary.com] says that it is a small military group, or [platoon].
It comes from the french word for small [pellet].
Someone please correct or elaborate if necessary.
