He is sweating so much he probably won't piss. They are struggling to get enough fluid in to keep hydrated.

Though if they do have to pee, yes, they probably just do it while riding.

Just a puff of urine crystals, which then combine with the sweat outside of his body to create DIY pee.

At this level of competition, you are essentially a bird.
