Rotich, Desisa, Rotizh Yamamoto, Gebreselassie, Abdi, are there.
Gebreselassie attacks at the 13M kite
64:26 for Ritz, 4sec back of Gebre
Mike Rossi passed the men's leaders and is now 1.2 miles up and gapping.
Through half in 64:30.
Gebreselassie, Rotich and a third runner away. They have 15 meters on the remnantsof the leading group.
The chase is not organized, Yamamoto is bridging across with a Kenyan runer, Abdi and Ritz farther back in 6th/7th trying to get organized

*You can't run a competitive elite marathon on 50 miles a week. Period.
Rotich, Desisa and Gebreselassie up front have 10+ seconds on Yamamoto and Kipsirio. Ritz at +15
Judging Lelisa's arms motion, he won't stay more than 10 miles with the leaders pack.

Sadly, I don't think this will be like Chicago. The big guys are on their way now...I wonder if any of them are bluffing with this move. Doubt it. It is a huge gap already.
Huddle too far back to podium? 300m back now?
5:07 last mile for Keitany, 5:27 for Chepkirui. Huddle in 4th, loosing ground to Kipyego, 12 seconds back and 2:30 behind the leader

You haven't watched many marathons, have you?
So much for all that practice surging. Ritz dropped faster than a fat kid dropping a piece of broccoli.
TO the idiots blaming Ritz being dropped because he went out hard in mile 1, please realize that the 14th mile was just run in 4:33. He just isn't able to do that.
Check out the leading men's 14th mile splits.

Ryan Hall ran pretty well in Boston in 2011 utilizing a fast early pace.
4th place
Let me rephrase that: can't run a marathon at the national or international level on 50 miles a week.
