I'm glad the Ethiopian finally got dropped, he was being a bum the whole way

The Ethiopian guy Daksisa ran smart but wow! You don't have draft on people that much. He could have taken a lead for a minute at least.
Looks like Kebede takes 5th in 2:10:55 ... Abshero back in 9th, 2:12:17.

Anyone else think the pacemaker could've stuck in and won the race? He kept dropping the pack and looked well within himself.
Fantastic pacemaker no. 62!
If he wouldn't quit, he could probably made it to 2:12 perhaps, isn't?
He quit at 35k and was able to run at 3:00/km until then.
Anyone has an overview over the so far finisher?

Disappointing for Kebede, well at least he didn't DNF and he's only 29, might bounce back...
