If you've ever read Bobke II, Bob Roll tells a hilarious story about when the call of nature hit him during a hotly contested stage of the '87 Tour.
In the '03 Tour, Robbie McEwen was hit by the same bug, and was seen to do a running, cyclo-cross dismount from his bike followed by a sprint to a convenient thicket. He emerged a minute or so later, minus his left glove, and rode to the finish.
Nature calls, and is sometimes tough to ignore...
