I have Just returned from a trek in Southern Spain. Whilst booking into a fairly plush hotel for my last few nights on the coast, I noticed a few official looking guys in "Trek" regalia. My pal who was with me said, wouldnt it be wierd if Fabian Cancellara was with the group. Within a few seconds, he lift door behind us opened and who was there, FC himself !
There was a moment when we couldnt believe the coincidence, and then another when we actually had to ask ourselves if it was really him !
I have to say he was very gracious, signing autographs, and letting us have photos taking with him.

Result me thinks

Should have asked if he had any spare batteries...

You should have asked who he was

"I'm Fabian Cancellera"

"No, I'm Fabian Cancellera"

Etc etc

We beat the quick stepp team up a Vuelta Col last winter (we had a head start). We chatted with the coach / management till the team reached us. Cavendish wasn't with them, he was sick that day! But they were genuinely interested in how we were finding the Cols and cycling. We were all just guys and girls who liked riding bikes right then not professional and amateur.
