Hills? What hills? I don't recall driving up any.
Cycling terms;
Peleton; Tha main body of riders.
A break; A small group/or rider who race ahead of the Peleton;
Gruppetto; This mainly forms on mountain stages, when the 'sprinters' and slower riders form a large group behind the mountain goats and, ride at a pace designed to get to the finish before the time limit.
Domestic; A rider who's job is to look after a teams star riders. Making the pace for a short while, and fetching bottles from the team car etc.
We may meet all of these as we explore the event in detail.
