ummm from the looks that photo of the Quick step rider is Paris-Roubaix (that's the only road race I know of that ends in a velodrome at least). What's on the back of dude's shorts is probably mud...(I won't guarantee that though)

I've had mud on the back of my shorts (and jersey) plenty of times, and it never looked like that...

OK - so here's the front of big Tom on that same year. He's covered in what, hmmmmm mud.... OK maybe its dust and sweat, but mixed that makes what? mud. I won't exclaim positively that he did not poo himself, but I rather suspect not."Sharing the road means getting along, not getting ahead" - 1994 Washington State Driver's Guide

Note how clean their bikes, socks and shoes are. Also note the distinct lack of poo-looking material on the other guy.
If that's mud, somebody threw it at his butt so it'd look like he dropped a big a big deuce in the saddle. If it's dirt and sweat, one must ask how he managed to get so much dirt in that one spot?re-cur-sion ri'-ker-shen n: see recursion
