From ‘Amélie’ to the Olympics – Nils Politt uses famous Paris café during Road Race for emergency toilet break

Clients in the famous Café des 2 Moulins in central Paris on Saturday had a closer encounter with one member of the Olympic Games Men’s Road Race peloton than they might have realistically expected when participant Nils Politt took an emergency mid-race toilet break in the establishment’s facilities.

Suffering from stomach issues, as the German rider later told reporters, Politt dived into the café in the closing kilometres of the race, won by Belgium’s Remco Evenepoel.
