Cripes, but the announcers are competent. They know the names and talk about the race as it's occurring instead of talking about some athlete's history as the race unfolds.
Ah the Brit announcers. I love listening to people who KNOW the sport.
Brign back Coleman from the eighties!
why isn't Rupp wearing the green OTC singlet?

Will try. About to start.
Kipchoge for the win!
Rupp is showcasing the new gear...
Rupp looks scared. Expect another poor performance from him.
Rupp straight to the back of the lead pack, 9th.
Rupp looks comfortable, hasn't lost contact with the train like Meucci did at first.
2:37 first km
5:13ish at 2k for Rupp by my eye.
Lagat (not that one), Rono (not that one), Koech (yes that one), Kipchoge (yes that one), Koech (not that one), three more Kenyans, Rupp, and an Italian off the back.

The pace is all over the place! Rupp dropped
10:18 at 4k for Kipchoge in the lead, followed by Koech.
Isiah Koech leading Kipchoge, others gone. Rupp WAY gone.
