There are spectators everywhere. I'm just baffled by the mechanics of it, I guess.
The riders tend to not do this unless it is really an "emergency"..... Guys do *not* like to abandon the tour and will ride even if a bit sick....

Don't the bibs make #1 nigh on impossible to do while riding, too? Or do they have some kind of opening like Y-front briefs?
ummm how to say delicately... no, guys can be a bit flexible, over the top of the bibs or down a leg can work for them. Yes this is a bit of work, which is why sometimes, as Psychlepath mentioned, a little push from a teammate is helpful.
