On a tour, where you generally hand wash your bibs (not as efficient as a machine) and sometimes the weather does not allow through drying, chamois cream is even more important.
Having suffered from saddle rash/sores in the past, I have used chamois cream even on short (i.e. 20 miles) rides for the last 20+ years. Problem solved.
