It appears Moses Mosop (2:03:06) is going for a new Marathon WR in Rotterdam.
I think he will go under 2:03, as long as conditions are optimal, and destroy Makaus WR. There's a video Flotrack about it.
What are your guys predictions?

2:02:34
His PR on a non aided pancake flat course is 2:05:37, so I say if he is having a good day he should be able to run 2:04, maybe even threatening the times that Duncan Kibet ran there a few years ago.
No WR.
I say 2:03:50
It's hard to get everything right all at the same time. Is he injured again or healthy this time?
2:04:25 +2:00/-0:25
2:01-2:01.30
2:02:49.5
well he ran 62 mins at the weekend in paris... so unless he had a really really bad day... WR is unlikely.
Recently he said on Mzungo.org that he wanna go for 2:03:10
It´s really difficult to get all conditions right, therefore I predict some 2:04

wait. what?
2:02:47. mosop is beast
2:05:37
Not close to WR.
I'd like to see what Canova has to say, and I'll go with that.
right. if they can tune their use of EPO, he will be fine (sorry, i had to since nobody brought it up before).
Should be interesting. Hard to get a good read on Mosop's potential.
Boston's 2:03:06 was wind-aided.
The 30K WR was very impressive and soon after Boston.
Chicago's 2:05 wasn't wind-aided, but he wasn't 100%.
I'll guess 2:02:50. Mosop sounds like a beast.
New WR maybe, but definitely not 2:02
2.05.40

If he's in top form and everything goes perfectly, 2:03:25. I don't see a sub 2:03 in the cards for anyone other than G Mutai right now and he's not running Rotterdam, so it's not happening this year.
As for Mosop's recent 1:02 half, I don't think this is necessarily a huge problem. He was with the winner for the vast majority of the race and apparently just let go at the end. Odds are that he wasn't particularly tapered and he had no reason to run any faster during the first 15km, so I doubt that 1:02 is all that close to what he could actually run for 13.1 right now.
right. Kannouchi also ran some 64 min half marathons before
his 2.05.xx at Chicago. Being tapered and in heavy training
are two very different modes.
