Serious question: what would the Marathon WR be if it was ran on a track? Realism

The pace and conditions look good. A WR seems very possible for Kipsang today.
How many of those guys have PRs under 2:05? I am surprised to see so many up front.
Gebre Mutai?
WHAT?
Nice one by the commentator.
WR pace at 15km.
Hopefully LetsRun doesn't delete the discussion of a world record attempt once again.
Good post at
http://www.sportsscientists.com/
who are doing live commentary on the race and not deleting their own content:
"The pace has been maintained, 14:42 for the last 5km. That's very steady. The biggest challenge is consistency, so it would be good to see splits by kilometer, rather than 5km, because that would tell you exactly how the pace is fluctuating. Physiologically, there's a big difference between going 2:52-3:00-2:52-3:00, and running 2:56 every kilometer, even though overall it's the same pace."
Saw on the Berlin twitter feed that Geb is running, any idea how he is doing?
I like this Eurosport commentator. Exciting style, knows his stuff.
Thanks for that link, good coverage there. Lead pack seems big, overly ambitious runners or really good conditions?

the lead pack guys are probably good runners, not world class or anything, but decent runners. they would all be serious contenders to win local turkey trots.

Isn't that a little similar to London, barring the 14 low split?
If Kipsang is as fit as he thinks he is this race is setting him up to be the first man under 2:03.

I guess we know what the finish line celebration is going to look like then. Some of these runners might not be invited back.
What tha ... Did the commentator just say Sharon Cherop grew up in a family of cattle raiders (i.e. rustlers)? Or am I hearing things?
RIGHT ON WR PACE AT 25 KM!
