Man, this story. I don\u2019t really understand why the jury decided to tell the whole peloton not to piss into bidons when it could have been addressed to one specific person. I don\u2019t want to blame anyone but it\u2019s pretty obvious that they could have just named <a href=\"https:\/\/escapecollective.com\/victor-campenaerts-might-be-the-one-peeing-in-bottles-at-the-giro\/\" rel=\"noreferrer nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">the one rider doing it<\/a>. Honestly, I promise you: this is not what we\u2019re all doing!<\/p>\n<p>But I also must say that I don\u2019t really get why it&#8217;s such a big topic. As long as you don\u2019t throw a bidon containing your pee into a crowd of people, I don\u2019t find it that bad. I mean, the piss needs to get out one way or another right? I don\u2019t see pissing in a bidon as any more offensive than pissing while still riding the bike. We could stop \u2013 and we do stop at times \u2013 but pissing directly from the saddle saves energy and time. As racing has gotten faster, we stop less often.  <\/p>\n<p>Anyway, enough of piss-gate, a story that should never really have been a story. <\/p>\n<p>                This post is for paying subscribers only<br \/>\n            <a class=\"gh-btn\" data-portal=\"signup\" href=\"#\/portal\/signup\" style=\"color:#FF6F42\">Subscribe now<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Already have an account? <a data-portal=\"signin\" href=\"#\/portal\/signin\">Sign in<\/a><\/p>\n<p>                Did we do a good job with this story?<\/p>\n<p class=\"reactions\" data-post-id=\"6a1496b35dfef7e293638feb\">\n                    \ud83d\udc4dYep<br \/>\n                    \ud83d\udc4eNope\n                <\/p>\n<p class=\"tags\">\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/escapecollective.com\/tag\/news-and-racing\/\" title=\"News &amp; Racing\" class=\"tag tag-67a677ae0c7ad49bf4f293b3 news-and-racing\" rel=\"tag nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">News &amp; Racing<\/a><br \/>\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/escapecollective.com\/tag\/secret-pro\/\" title=\"Secret Pro\" class=\"tag tag-6865d9466afbda2f28b9016b secret-pro\" rel=\"tag nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Secret Pro<\/a><br \/>\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/escapecollective.com\/tag\/giro-ditalia-2\/\" title=\"Giro d&#039;Italia\" class=\"tag tag-67a677ae0c7ad49bf4f291ed giro-ditalia-2\" rel=\"tag nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Giro d&#8217;Italia<\/a>\n                <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"News &amp; Racing Drafting motos, piss-gate, and other insights from the Giro d&#8217;Italia.
