Do professional riders wear nappies???

[Smokin Joe]

Sean Kelly and Greg Lemond are two riders who finished races with their bikes covered in the brown stuff. If you want to get to the top you don't let something like the trots stop you, cycling is a tough guys sport.

I remember reading an autobiography a while back, can't remember who's, and in it there was mention of Greg Lemond with brown liquid running down his legs.

Apparently some caught in his rear wheel spokes, proper shoot hitting the fan.

I heard Sean Kelly talking about the Mountains in the turd week of the Tour de France last year.

Maybe that's what was in Sky's mystery medical package, it was nappies. Bradley Wiggins has problems but is too embarrassed to admit it.

Might sound stupid but they must feel the urge to number 1 or 2 when out racing or climbing and have never seen anyone use a portaloo climbing the Alps!!!

You forgot to add all the journos, photographers, police/ambulance, motorcyclists, team/support/race-management car drivers and very assorted passengers, caravan people? One portaloo may not be sufficient?

Or, of course, one gets used to managing one's bodily functions. A scatological contribution from someone who is proud NEVER to have used a toilet on an Egyption State Railway service in five years, despite .... well, let's not go there

Tommy probably does.

One of my colleagues lives along the course of the Amstel Gold and got a bit cross one year when the riders stopped to have a waz in his front garden.

Hoe gaat heet?????

Arnaud Demare used the loo in a motor home parked at the side of the road on the Tour de France in 2014

I can't tell if this thread is serious or not

It's definitely taking the p*ss

Gets mentioned in 'A rough ride' by Kimmage and also in French Revolutions by Tim Moore IIRC.
