At the heart of any Euro World Cup 'cross venue lurks the beer tent. Just to the right of the tent is the Euro solution to relieving beer-induced stress on the male bladder. The linked photo was taken by Jon Baker's wife Cyndi at a 'cross venue (Niel) earlier this season, but the same device appeared in Koksijde. It was conveniently situated so one could pee and watch the Jumbo-tron at the same time, an option exercised multiple occasions by your intrepid author. Of course, many spectators opted for Plan B...simply peeing in the bushes all of 8 feet away from the provided urinal, or anywhere else along the parcours where one found something upright and non-human to focus one's efforts.
