Even the skinniest rider has about 100,000 calories of fat in them. So if you train your body so it becomes more efficient at using fat for fuel , you can go a long way before needing to eat.

Some riders have been caught fat doping. They were taking fat in drip form half way through grand tours

They often hide it in their backsides, if you look closely you can see what appears to be padding in their shorts
