So by now we all know it was a wasted opportunity and that Salzobar is mostly to blame. The question is: if he knew beforehand he would not win (and thus go with the jogging-group), why not give up his bib to someone who can actually run an enjoyable race?
The race is sold out every year with a lottery and it just doesn't seem fair that he gets a wildcard while many hard working UK citizen are left out.
