He looked good in Lausanne coasting to the line in 43.62 for his first important 400 of the year, he's improved at 100, 200, and 300, and of course: he ran 43.03 last year.

He will probably break his record again and it would be unlikely that he runs between 43:02 and 43:00. So, I'm going to say yes
My prediction is that he runs sub-43 eventually, but not this season. He will knock out another low 43 though I'm thinking after today.

Yes it is highly likely.
If he does thats insane, he would be the first sub 42 and sub 10 second guy of all time
sub-42.5 or bust.

Uh he will also be the first sub 42 and sub 15 guy of all time.
And while we're at it... Kipchoge is the first sub 2:01 and sub 18 min 5k guy ever!!

Sub-43, bros. I don't think he's ever going sub-42.

You've been away for too long. Make way for someone else.
He will, he shut it down the last 25 meters yesterday, probably would have been 43.3 if he ran through the tape.
he needs to go after it this year. when he's fast and healthy. one injury or off year can ruin all chances as we've seen.kirani james didn't have too many brilliant years (by WR standards of course)when things are going well, you have to go after it. that's what we've learned in pro track & field

He looked so easy running 43.6 in Lausanne, easing up in the last 30m. If he'd pushed himself in the last 50m, he'd probably have run 43.4.
I think it's quite reasonable that he can improve by 0.4 sec in the next 4 weeks before London, so if he doesn't break 43 in the World final, then I think he'll chase it (injury withstanding) in somewhere like Zurich or Brussels later in season.
I think he could run a 42.8 this year in good conditions.
Yes he will! Probably in WC.
I'd be surprised if he did not break 43
