The police use the caterpillar system to create a 'sterile' area ahead of the race convoy. They will legally get everything off the road to ensure the safety of the competitors. The bikers with the orange hi-viz jackets are the National Escort Group who assist the police and deal with peloton safety. The need for so many police and NEG is to ensure that those road sections with multiple junctions are safely covered.
