Looked like Bekele was gapped by Kipchoge in that last shot.

Bekele dropped! Is that what I saw?
great go back to men and Kenny B nowhere in site, but we are watching an empty start line.
See below an update I didn't post.
Men's race has broken up about 1:37 in.
Kitwara CHumba and Kipchoge in front.15 meters to Bernard Koech and then Bekel 20 meters behind that.
*************
The men's cameras are out so they can't show the race right now. We're not seeing it even here.
Rabbits have dropped out @ 30k.
1:28:46 @30k 2:04:51 pace
1:29:45 for llano and curtis @ 18 miles,
Miles 17 4:53, 18 4:48, 19 4:50
Not very fast. Huge pack. Expect someone to blast the final 10k
THere has been more weather coverage than race coverage.
This coverage is horrific!!!!!!
"Here's a shot of an open street. Not a runner/spectator in sight. Let's talk weather."
I'm going back to sleep.
Got to love a report from the empty 1 mile mark long after the race has passed.

how long has it been since weve seen the men? 10 minutes?
right when things start to happen
I genuinely don't know if I'm watching a race or a talk show at the moment.

Did they just showed a view of the mens front group?? Only 3 people are left?
Don't worry about that. What's the temperature at the finish line??
Where Bekele!? Who was leading? Kipchoge with pacers??
A two and a half hour weather broadcast masquerading as a marathon.
This coverage does not reveal anything that is happening with the race. Wonderful.

Does anyone have any updates on the weather!?
No, but I just heard that it is very quiet at the one mile part of the course.
woah, so I just saw a guy in a letsrun singlet. Who is that? Kidding...
This coverage (NBC) is truly shite. Weather report in the final 15 mins of the men's elite race. Only showing the first and last 100m of the wheelchair race. Pointless interviews. So frustrating.
I love hearing about the weather seven times an hour instead of watching the race.
Why a ten minute weather report - show the lead mens for gods sake!
Multiple times ffs.
