Chapeau for him. A brave effort of Simon, to go all-in from so far. We didn't really think about this, this morning.
I never truly believed until the very last moment there. I'm speechless, really. It's still sinking in. I couldn't hold back the tears.
That performance was fueled by the memories of a capitulation that he's constantly reminded of. His ride will define his career. To see those tears was immensely powerful.
If you'd written that script they'd have said: Yep, that's good, we'll use that. Now they will call it doing a Yates.
