Just wondering I don't see many people stopping to pee. I am not sure what the pelaton etiquette is when it comes to this.

They actually all pull over and take a "nature break"....

If you're in a break, you can't really pull over but the peloton will pull over and take a leak.

Can also swing it out & pee whilst riding. Never tried it myself for fear of falling off. Don't try it into the wind!

Suppose women who stay on bikes just get a wet saddle.

Ha, I was wondering the same thing the other day. I've been watching it pretty religiously this year, and I notice how polite they all are in the pelaton, conversing and such on the less demanding parts of the ride-- shows that there is some etiquette. But, at the same time, its the TDF-- you gotta do what you gotta do to win.
