how do tour de france riders pee

how do tour de france riders pee
what do tour de france riders do when they have to use the bathroom?

i was watching the tour de france and i really had to pee. and i wondered…. “what do the riders do when they use the bathroom?” because they cant stop or they will loose their place. so does anyone know?

They either stop at the side of the road, or roll the shorts down and pee away from the bike. For obvious reasons, the cameras don’t dwell on such things.

In Ironman triathlons, competitors just let fly IN their shorts because there is a time penalty for public nudity. No its not that gross because after several hours of racing you’re covered with so much sweat and gatorade a little pee makes no difference.

tour de france scandals

tour de france scandals
That the sport has taken the most heat this summer?

That sport in its opinion, has lost its credibility and most took the most heat? Baseball Bonds and break the all-time record for home runs and a cloud of steroid allegations about him? basketball and Tim Donaghy (Dirty Ref who bet on the games) scandal? Football tournament being trapped / Outta started the tournament, due to steroid charges Wrestling? The death of Chris Benoit (one side of the WWE) and two Boy, hockey seems an angel at the moment … haha you guys have any other account I have not mentioned?

I have to say that the NBA. Disputes in the NFL and MLB were pretty bad, but at this point, all more or less expect players to baseball players take steroids and football to commit crimes. Its been like this for a while now and nobody should be surprised anymore. Refs get in trouble for the game, now that a Differant history, especially when that ref officiated playoff games. That's a big blow to the credibility of the NBA. Now that Vegas has begun to build a stage and said that the intention that it be main housing a basketball or hockey team, this will be an important issue if the NBA wants to expand to that city.
