It is obvious that the commentators know nothing about the top runners as they just keep repeating the same generalizations about how fast the runners are moving and how many of them there are in the main pack. The only two names I've heard mentioned are Haile Gebrselaisse, when they mentioned him as a past winner, and Deriba Merga.
The lead pack is down to 15 guys at 28k.
Geneti looks confident. Lel still here as Worku, Merga and Tola. Lelisa OUT.
I dont see Lel in the main pack anymore....
1:25 in Merga has made a move and 12 guys have gone with it.
Here is the halfway top 30.

yes click on the leaderboard then click halfway, then click 30 to see the top 30 in both the mens and womens race.
Thanks. I saw that, but I mean a board that updates the pace by every km?
tola putting it down
Lel off the back nooooo
Lel falling back quickly.
Lel :(
TOLA pushing. LEL 40 meters back. Canova's MAIYO still here (he is 59:08 HM)
Is Lel wearing the red bib in about 12th?
This is going to be one helluva finish.
Merga channeling Groucho, as always.
Still 6 ethiopians in the lead pack.
Merga will drop out soon unless there's some unusual incentive not to.
Merga struggling!!!
MERGA and WORKU OUT. 6 men in the lead.
