What Will said...
It was the unwritten rule that no-one attacked while a favourite was taking a piss, but one time when Greg LeMond was taking a 'comfort break' at the side of the road the hostile peloton gave it full gas and he had to chase on for fucking miles before he caught the bunch.
After that, any time he wanted a piss he would get a team mate to push as he freewheeled along, pissing into the wind.
As a side note, Greg also shat himself very badly once on a climb. He was sick as a dog and had bad guts, a let rip right in the middle of the race. Other riders reported that he stank something terrible, and that it was running out of his shorts and coating his bike.
He finished the stage.
Like a boss.
