26:53 for the win.
World lead in 26:49 for winner is my prediction.
Wanders' having 20m gap. Probably no sub-27 for him

Dude...if you're going to make a bold prediction for a 10K, especially after it's half way over, you can't make it a half minute window. That's like throwing out a 2-2:30 window prediction in a marathon and acting like it's a pretty bold prediction.
Now about 150m gap between wanders and ethiopians
1. Hagos
2. Barega
3. Kejelcha
Julien wanders 27:17
26:48;95

The weather in northern Europe has been cooling over the last coupla days without being bad - if that reaches down to the Netherlands tonight, and someone pushes the pace from the bat, this amazing large field of talents might push each other to within the neighbourhood of the world record.
At the very least we should get to see a record number of men in one single race breaking 27 minutes.
Twenty top guys whom are all trying to peak for this race to even make the team - if just four or five of them has succeeded in that peaking, someone takes them out fast, and the weather plays along, and they have to duke it out all the way to the last lap - this could be REALLY fast.
This is not how these races play out though. They do not end up being conductive to running close to world record times. Remember they are trying to get selected for the WC. It is like our Olympic Trials. The winner will likely not break 26:40 no matter the weather. They will likely hit halfway in 13:30 ish and somebody will come back in 13:15 or so for a 26:45 win. We shall see.
You were pretty darn close with that call.
Hagos now #18 all time. Barega # 24.
Wanders keeps impressing.
Amazing foresight

Top three for 10000m:
Hagos Gebrhiwet(fastest Ethiopian 10000m time so far and very strong kick, that is as long as he counts the laps properly)
Selemon Barega
Abadi Hadis
2 out of 3 isn't bad.

Wanders loses only to the cream of the crop 5/10000 track studs. Only exception is Mekonnen...the 2nd fastest half marathoner of all time, but would still expect him to be more like 27 flat. Was this 10k paced?
Kejelcha has sick 1500-10000 range.
