It's rare for an agent to speak honestly about an athlete but Jos Hermens didn't hold back in sharing his thoughts about the greatest distance runner in history, Kenenisa Bekele, after Amsterdam. "It all comes down to preparation. He has just as much talent as Kipchoge, but while Kipchoge will prepare for six months before a marathon, Bekele only started 7 weeks ago. That just can’t work...It’s extremely frustrating.... I think he has some kind of dyslexia, an inability to plan...It’s really hard with him."
