This story is for all of those who have wondered: How does Lance Armstrong ride for six hours, drink all that water, and never ... you know? They rarely show this part of the Tour on television, but of course, it is part of the race.
Danny Nelissen, Eurosport's Dutch cycling commentator and a former professional cyclist is quoted as saying: "It takes a lot of practice to pee at 70kph. I couldn't do it. I had to stop."
If that was more than you wanted to know, stop reading. If you are still wondering about other potential problems, this is also from Nelissen: "One year on the Tour, four teams staying at the same hotel -- including Laurent Jalabert's ONCE squad -- got hit by food poisoning. The next day you had half the pack disappearing into the woods. You drop back to your team car and ask for one of those casquettes. You know, one of those hats. The cloth ones. What else are you going to use?"
As Paul Harvey would say, now you know the rest of the story.
