There is a 20 second gap between his group and the group ahead. It will be hard to bridge that gap. However, people will start falling off that group in a few minutes
…for example, there is a guy who is 3 seconds ahead of Jake at 25km. That guy crossed the half in 65:02. Explosion
I know FloTrack dropped the feed early in the race so it's not a perfect broadcast on their end. But everything else about it is pretty awesome. No commercials. Minimal coverage of wheelchair race. Cameras for lead pack AND chase packs. Clock and live distance tracker on the screen at all times. And Brett Larner knows his stuff.
Flotrack deserves zero credit. They failed to do the two things they said they would do.
1) Provide a free stream of the first half like they said they would on youtube.
2) Provide a stream of the full race.
The feed they are getting is the international feed that is provided the Japanese. I'm watching the Japaense feed. There are commercials but everything else is perfect. No mass participation, hardly any wheelchair. and I"m enjoyingh the japanese commercials.
What's the over under on Ota now? If Cheptegei faded to 2:08 in his debut, I think there's no way he breaks 2:10, right? He got caught and dropped by the 2nd pack well before 30k.

The Chinese stream had one commercial break around the 5k mark, but hasn't had one in over an hour. Didn't even have to set a VPN.
You gotta love this Rojo guy. He is watching the 5 and 10 world record holder in his 2nd marathon and he is possibly getting apoplectic or apocalyptic, or both, over non-binary divisions.
Truly an odd fellow. Thank god someone as insane as him cant delete posts. Oh wait...
30k - elite pack was almost down to 3 at1:27:31 (2:02:51 pace). Cheptegei was up to 13th in 1:28:36 (2:04:36 pace). But they are losing ground to 1st pack.
