Looking for the floor pump will give me a reason to watch, beyond just watching the scenery now and listening to the delightful patter of Phil & Paul.

I like what Jens wrote in his Bicycling.com blog:

Since Franky is my friend and as I have said this many times over the years, I will stay on his side and be there for him as a friend should do. Friendship is not only for the sunny days in life but even more important when its pouring rain out there. Maybe I am not as objective and neutral here as I should be, but I can’t help it, I have spent eight years with Franky as a teammate and I can’t see him doing something stupid like that. I am well aware that probably not everybody will agree with my thoughts, but that’s what I wanted to say.
