At the London news conference he actually claims he is healthy with a good training. When was the last time we didn't hear Bekele is at xx% leading up to a race?
Aside from maybe a bit of luck if he is healthy, I think last year when Jos Hermens questioned his training, motivated him for this race.
expect great things!
Editor's note: We spoke with both Bekele and his agent today in London and have an article up on the front page.

So Bekele claims he at last is totally healthy – Can he take down Kipchoge in London?

I'm literally wetting myself with excitement over sunday. I decorated my room with balloons and posters/articles on Bekele, everything I could find. I have a big 2:02 banner. I also have some other 12:37 and 26:17 decorations. I'm sorting out the music to play at my own private party. I bought a bottle of Disaronno to celebrate. I won't be coming out of the room until at least the next Monday afternoon. Of course I won't be alone. I will be here with all you nice people, and Bekele fans, so we can celebrate together. My flatmates don't seem to want to be a part of the party, but they are just being anti social. It is their loss I guess.

Pictures of your room? -
Hope so
-
Bear in mind that conditions aren't optimal for the race, so it's unlikely we'll see a new WR by any of the top guys.
-
Bekele is like a fish out of water, he doesn't need optimal conditions to set the WR.

The excuses come after the race

Can I come? I think we’d get along. I’ll pack up my Bekele shrine and bring it over.
I’m so amped for this race that a couple of my normie friends are now inspired to crush beers and watch with me. -
Over/under 30K before he drops?
-
25k he'll get stomach issues (from thinking about how uncomfortable the pace is and how much longer he has to run).

eh, maybe but this is the first marathon in a while he hasn't had an excuse before hand saying something hampered his training -

In all seriousness, I do have the picture on my wall of Bekele, Gebrselassie, and Mo racing together side by side at the Great North Run. It's one of my favorite running pictures. -
Only after you realize Banana Bread is a troll can you begin to appreciate the real Banana Bread. His passion for running shines through the details of his trolling.

KB dnf at 30k... I'm taking all bets ;-) -
Do you think he found a better performance boosting drug? Something Kipchoge didn't get his hands on yet?
-
Kipchoge first and Sarah sellers second 5 minutes back
