Fabian Cancellara may have fallen off his bike and slid down the velodrome banking into a pool of water at the bottom in Roubaix yesterday, but he stayed very cool indeed.
Only Cancellara could turn a blooper like this - at the end of his last outing in Paris-Roubaix - into something of a celebration, as this video and these photos demonstrate.
