Forgive me, because as I write this it's making more sense to me, but I'm watching the Tour on Versus.com and the Phil Liggett just mentioned that it's time for a nature break for the riders and then they'd get back to race. There was what sounded like a break in the audio, but it was hardly noticable.

Do they actually stop the race for everyone to use a restroom? I didn't notice any portapotties anywhere.

I guess they'd have to stop at some point, riding this far for this long. I'd just never heard this before on the race commentary.

I know there are relief stops with food and water on century rides. D*H has done one and he told me about it. He mentioned a portapotty. It just never occurred to me that an elite race like this would have scheduled relief stops.

Do they all?

Roxy - feeling very much the noob right now. Ha!
