The Tour demands that cyclists stop urinating in their water bottles
An unavoidable reality of the great cycling tours with kilometer-long stages and hours on the saddle is that cyclists must hydrate, something that the International Cycling Union (UCI) accepts and promotes within the rules. Another reality is that this hydration must be released, which makes cyclists need to urinate. And they do so, usually, on the same bicycle and in precarious balance, to avoid stopping and losing seconds and rhythm in the race. And in this regard, the UCI has its reservations.
