Tour de France - So my wife asks me what they do when they have to pee......I told her..........

that they just peed there pants. lol. I have no idea, what do they do? So i can tell my wife and so she will be willing to continually watch this with me.

They pull off to the side of the road and whip it out usually.

Much better response is they just pull it out on the bike while rolling along and pee. I remember a couple of years ago seeing Lance being pushed by his whole team off the front as he took a natural break. Now that is team work.

"only shake it twice, george. any more and you're playing with it."

Don't know if that is a "better" response. Sometimes they just do #1 and 2 in their shorts. I remember Lemond talking about blowing diarrhea out of his ass at 40mph. But they usually just pull over.

They don't "all do it"

Tell me who doesn't. Give me a name since you seem to be the knowledgeable one.

(you know this was a joke, right?)

Some people pee in their wetsuits when SCUBA diving, too. I would rather drown, I think.

Still, the classic Bob Roll stories: (taken from the Glenn Swain thingie)
The 1986 Tour de France was Roll's most brutal, grueling event—a race that produced a classic two-wheel war story. During most of the '86 Tour, Roll endured the pain of the world's toughest bike race while suffering through toilet-hugging sickness. Finally feeling better but famished from not eating, one evening he inhaled a gigantic peach melba dessert. The next morning, Roll devoured four ham-and-cheese omelets before that day's stage. Three hours into the ride, in the middle of the peloton, Roll's lower intestines suddenly began a one-exit, no-waiting tour of its own.

"Sheeeeeiitttt!" he screamed.

He tried to take his bike jersey off, but only got it over his head. It was then he realized that his jersey was pinned to his bib shorts. Now blinded, he began knocking over other cyclists as he fought with his jersey. When the road suddenly curved, our Bobke went straight into a muddy ditch, splashing spectators along the way. His bike careened onto someone's driveway, where he somersaulted over the handlebars. Finding a tall hedge to hide behind, he bent over and his bowels had their own Tour de France breakaway. Finishing, he looked around for some leaves, but only found a nice French family incredulously staring at him from their picnic site on their front lawn. Roll smiled, grabbed a linen napkin, wiped himself, then amazingly grabbed a piece of cake and ran back to his bike.

Cavendish is god, and god doesn't pee

see, that's the kind of story bobke should be sharing on VS

I take it you've never done a triathlon. The water just in from the beach is always 1-2 degrees warmer than the rest of the ocean just before the start of the race.

when the water is cold, peein in your wetsuit feels kinda good

I usually prefer to pee in someone else's wet suit; make the garment earn the title.

A couple of days ago on Versus, they actually showed several guys at the side of the road taking a "naturel". Some riders decided to attack during the pee break and Phil said that "that is just not done" and doing so would make many enemies in the peloton.

Love that Bobke story.

I don't know about cyclists but runners are gross:eek:

Who's got that pic of Boonen with the **** stained bibs?

I don't know about cyclists but runners are gross:eek:

A benefit of warm water dives, dive skins are easier to do a pee. Talking about peeing. I note most my club members need stop at trees maybe one hour into a ride, or so. (After breakfast. ) I normally pee like a race house when sitting about the house after several cups of coffee. / But out on the road, I might not have to take leak for 2-3 hours. Do some of us just sweat it out of our system. ?

Who's got that pic of Boonen with the **** stained bibs?

just do a google images search of "boonen sh*t"
page two

note to those who don't "get it": don't really put the "*" you have to spell it, **** for brains.

He did. During the 2006 tour. It was great TV.

Hahaha, I honestly just came on to post the same question. I love this fourm.

I admit to asking my husband the same question, LOL! He said they just didn't.

"Then there’s the rotten peach story: seems our hero got a hold of a bad peach before the start of a Stage One, one year at the Tour. Soon enough the chemistry kicked in and it was time for a big number two. Unfortunately he was well into the stage so Lemond grabbed a teammate’s hat and frantically tried to stuff it down his bibs to catch the fallout. Too late. He gets a bib short full. At this point the Lycra begins to fail and there’s massive fallout onto his rear wheel. Now picture a really rainy day and the spray that comes off a road bike’s wheel. Now you’ll understand why the peleton parted like the Red Sea. But there’s more. LeMond made it to the finish but was still in critical need of a restroom. He dashed to the team van, jumped into the toilet room only to see that said tool of necessity was removed and the small area was now a closet containing stacks of Laurent Fignon post cards (they were teammates at one time). So according to Lemond, he made a chair out of the cards with a “dug out center” and spent the next hour in there."

Gross on so many levels...

PS Your signature animated gif is memorizing.

Amazing, you can't attack during a pee break during the Tour, but you can dope to give yourself an unfair advantage. Doesn't make sense!

Urine is not going to kill you, you know. People do it in their wetsuit to warm up. Or because they need to go and they are on a great dive and do not want to come up. People pee their pants in a bike race in order to not lose time.

It just just a bodily function.

I recently peed on my hand (in a bathroom) after a jellyfish tore up my hand while swimming in the ocean. Most people know this is what you do to stop the pain of a jellyfish sting. But some act like I said I put my crap on bread and ate it. People need to lighten up a bit. It stopped the pain instantly and then I washed my hands. Life went on.

Got some serious laughs and near vomits out of this thread. Always a welcome combination.

Just a natural body function . . .

The other Lemond story I've heard, and I can't remember the race or the rider who was telling it, but it went something like:

"And Lemond went racing by on the tail end of his team, and it was obvious he was suffering from intestinal problems. The stuff was just running down his legs, and the stench was terrible".

I normally pee like a race house when sitting about the house

Remind me not to sit on your couch...

As for peeing in your wetsuit while diving...there are two kinds of scuba divers...those who pee in their wetsuit and those that lie about it.
