If they really don't want to stop, they hold it or go in their pants. Otherwise they'll hop off to relieve themselves or kinda wiggle over in the saddle, roll down the spandex a bit, and let it go.
A similar question was posted a few weeks ago during the TDF, and a few users posted that in big events such as that, if there is a break in the spectators where they can go kinda in private, they'll hop off and go, and then catch back up to the peleton. Riders typically won't attack when they know competitor's are taking breaks such as that because it is considered in bad taste.

Mostly just pee off of the bike. If they are in a race and gotta go. Like somebody said, certain races may have certain traditions as to the cyclists not attacking if there are a few riders that pulled off to pee. Heck, who wants to win a race and have to say the only reason they won was because people had to piss?
Another strategy that is used in less competitive events such as century rides is to get off the bike, and lie down on the side of the road, with your back to traffic, and just pee like that.
I don't know about girls...less convenient for sure.

They have a small packet of plastic bag and they put it around their u know what.and when they pee,the pee is collected in the bag.The pee is then have some chemical reaction in the bag which turned into a similar substance like jelly.The cyclist can then throw away the bag as the jelly-like substance cannot be eaten.
U might be wondering if the bag give out a smell,but surprising it does not.It is like the pilot flying a plane when he suddenly need to go to the loo.

They call it a "nature break" in the peloton. They just pull over and do it usually without any spectators around. Roll up the pants and let it fly. Still, they don't want to be caught by an official while doing it.

Well I'll tell ya what I do. If I just can't hold it, I look for a tree I can hide behind so I don't get honked at too much by passing cars. I never go in my cycling shorts, not even in a race. Then I just catch up.
