I hope Farah catches up. He is the only European left against all these no-name Kenyans. Go Mo !!!

BBC announcers said Mo Farah just set a new european 15km road record in the middle of this race, cutting some 20 seconds off the old record. That should tell you a little bit about how fast this race is!
Mo looks worse than in London 2014...DNF coming? Paula's dreaming...
Don't know why everybody is going on about Mo falling off the pace, he's done this before- in Lisbon- when he thought the leaders were going too fast and clawed his way back. It's Kam who we should be worried about. That fall and catching up must've have taken a lot out of him.
10 seconds to Cheptrot, 19 to Ayele, 22 to Farah/
Gap still going out.
If Kamworor and Muchiri hold this, they got their win through just being better. Tactics don't put you 22 seconds back at 15k.
Farah hurting though, and wearing it all over his face. Salazar hasn't taught him to keep composure when he suffers (or, he hasn't been put into the red zone often enough before.)
Seriously hope they just bury Farah for being cocky and thinking he can drop back and catch them, and it looks like they will. Letting guys go up the road is usually a pretty bad strategy.
If there was a tailwind it might be whatever, but if it was cross or headwinds...then what Farah did was flat out stupid.
44.47 at 10 miles!!!
44.47 ish at 10 miles!!
Mary Wacera Ngugi, has quite the set of hips for a Kenyan runner. Probably the best looking Kenyan runner I've seen. Sammy Wanjiru knew how to pick em.

At no point in the lead up to this race has Farah shown any arrogance. I'm not a fan, but you're not telling the truth to suggest it was cockiness.
He got dropped because he got dropped.
Tim Ritchie top american, 3:07 down on Kamworor at 15k
4:29 mile pace through 10 miles! Mo 27 seconds back

Honestly, I doubt it took that much out of him. The pack wasn't exactly blazing. Do you remember how he opened World XC?
ARe you crazy? They went out in 14:07. So they are going out at 68 pace at the slowest. He caught them within a lap. Now he was in the middle of the pack so let's say he only makes up 5 seconds . SO he goes out in 62???
Honestly, a lot much of his training involves fartleks with paces just like that. Recall how he started world XC by SPRINTING for 400 meters. A fresh 62 while completely charged with adrenaline isn't going to kill off the World XC champ and one of the best HM runners in history.
Obviously spotting the pack a seven-second lead isn't something anyone would sign up for, but seriously if you put Kamwo in his own start chute and make him wait seven seconds at the start of a HM, are you worried? I'm not.
It's not even really a debate, since the fact is he caught up and is now racing for a 59-low win.
Now, just like the women's race, 1-2 are settle, but they have to determine the order.
Who you got for a final push?
On the BBC, they jsaid Farah just broke European 15k record by a ton and is dropped by 22 secs

You're depriving some village of their idiot.
I don't have a cell phone, and I'm not interested in your village.
AT 15k, they are on 58:37 pace. Fastest ever is 5823 but hey are supposed to be running into the wind at the end.

I really think he dropped by choice. He has used that strategy before.
I could be wrong, but judging by the smoothness and relaxed look on Mo's face when he was tailed off earlier on (think 4-6M)it was a calculated decision.

Only no-names to the ignorant.
