Gosh if he's not a runner... he flew through legs 1 & 2 (even with the injury). Yes I thought it was really good of him to wait & welcome Simon back. He was looking a lot more 'with it' than at 0730 at Ogwen.

Simon never looked anything less than as strong as an ox

The last leg team with Simon has some 'interesting' clothing
