Only 4 men left + pacer Kenny Kipsang Biwott and Kipchoge
Regassa and Ghebreslassie dropped. Kenny B still hanging in there though. It's him plus Biwott, Kipchoge, Kipsang and a rabbit up front.
Men's gropup down to four.
Kipchoge
Kipsang
Biwott
Bekele
The pace is SEARING.
Men down to 4 with Kipchoge, Kipsang, Biwott AND BEKELE!
Gebr is toast.
when you need to run 14:34.9 on average, you can't start with 14:16 and 14:21. The marathon doesn't work like that. they're destined to blow up.

Which is exactly your headline! (Y)
It'll be either Kipsang or Pacer 1 because they're Tall.
Did Cram just say "perfect conditions for running a marathon .. temperatures, spot on"?

The weather is absolutely atrocious.
It is cold, rainy, windy & thoroughly miserable.
For anyone to break 2"06 will be a miracle.
This is just going to be a tactical affair which will have no bearing on Rio as the conditions there will be 180 degrees opposite.
Tell you what. Bekele is surprising me. He has unsurpassed pedigree. If he can stay to a sprint finish you would have to put your money on him.
The women have REALLY slowed.
Dibaba leads
Kettany in the back of the pack of 7
Kipsang dropping!
Kipsang now falling off, Bekele a few meters behind leaders. Kipchoge looks GOOD. Biwott looks pretty strong too.
I'm getting excited about Bekele here. He still looks good. But then this is going to get very messy and I wonder if out of the lead four he is least suited to grinding it out.
As I write that, we're down to lead THREE! Gebr's gone.
KIPSANG IS BREAKING
Go Kipsang! Falling off a bit.
BEKELE IS PUFFING AND STRUGGLING TO HANG ON
Bekele got dropped when he took his drink bottle.
Men all strung out now, Bekele dropping too
split up around the drinks station now kipchoge and bitwott + pacer
