Where are they now? <br>
Use the GoogleEarth KMZ file to track the Peleton.

What are they doing? <br>
Use the SRM Telemetry to follow the effort.

And another one;
UbiLabs & SRM Tour de France - LIVE Tracker. The recent track is plotted on a Google map and live data (such as eart beat, speed, stress points, distance, power and current position) is displayed next to each rider.
