In road bicycle racing, a domestique is a rider who works for the benefit of their team and leader, rather than trying to win the race. In French, domestique translates as "servant". The use of the term dates back to 1911, although such riders had existed before then.
Domestiques from several teams form lines at the front of the peloton to keep their leaders near the front of the race. Note George Hincapie working for his team leader Lance Armstrong, visible in the yellow jersey of the Tour de France.
