Professional road cyclists participating in the tough Tour de France face the challenge of bathroom breaks during the three-week event. While they may hold it in during crucial race moments, riders may stop by the roadside individually or take a group break facilitated by the race leader. Some cyclists opt to urinate while cycling for efficiency. Female riders have additional challenges, but shorter stages reduce the need for stops. Instances of riders facing consequences for public urination include fines. Notable incidents like Tom Dumoulin's race lead reduction due to 'stomach problems' highlight the complexities athletes face in managing bathroom needs during the race.
