In my preview, I have chosen him second between Evans Chebet and Abdi Nageeye
Dopers. Rupp is hopeless without Al Sal's tricks anyways but I would not be surprised if he did have another few tricks up his sleeve. He was an absolute stud prior to Al Sal getting screwed.
He sits on the starting line prior to the gun and Fauble's head explodes. Rupp goes on to run 2:07:52 for third place. Fauble runs headless on pure hate and finishes in 2:08:01 for fourth.
Lol this made me laugh much harder than I care to admit for some reason
Yeah. This pretty much nails it. He’s pretty predictable at this stage of his career. A healthy Rupp runs 2:10, maybe a little faster on a tough course like NYC, or drops at 19 miles. On a fast course like Chicago, he can still go sub 2:07. Reminds me of Pearl Jam. Very good… always predictable. You know what their new album is going to sound like before it comes out.
If he is healthy, which I assume he is since he is running...I'd say 2:08x. I think Rupp is in decline, but like a lot aging athletes, they are able to muster one or two good performances before they finally fall off the cliff. I think it is either going to be a good performance or DNF. Rupp has a good record of finishing marathons, but his standard is so high that if he is nowhere near the leaders, he is going to DNF.

Best part is in typical marathon broadcast coverage they are interviewing the wheelchair non-binary 3rd place finisher and miss the battle for third and fourth in the men's race
Wait…what??? Mantz is running NY after just doing Chicago? What a grinder this dude is. He has a bright future. This must be a throwback to the 80s/90s Ed Eyestone influence when those guys ran lots more races than todays top American men do.
