Edwin Kiptoo drops off at 29k. Excellent job.
Amen!
Bekele now leading. We're getting to the business end. Lead pack down to 9 as Laban Korir gets detached.
Bekele the alpha male now! Leads the pack of 11.

I guess it is Kaan Kigen Özbilen, he always runs like this. I'm suprised he is still there though because he was even worse than Wanders at European Championships (place 14 and 10, so very bad for someone running at European record pace right now).
30km passed in 1:28:54 - 2:05 flat pace
Anyone else having trouble with the official feed? Always stopping, and way behind!
28:56 for 30k. Bekele steps aside for one of the Kenyans (Gideon Kipketer?) to share the work.

Belete has a 1 minute lead and is running 2.20 tempo.
9 together with Korir and Abate off the back.
Bekele drops to the back of the pack. It's over.
Lawrence Cherono takes the lead as Bekele looks like he's struggling. Where is Banana Bread?
kenenisa is getting dropped once again..
6 Ozbilen.
Course record is slipping away at this rate. 31th km in 3:04. They need 11km in 2:58 to get it now
2=Kenenisa Bekele and 6=Kaan Kigen Özbilen falling back off lead group
Bekele now off the back after that water stop
Someone called the suicide hotline for Banana bread
Big gap (30 metres) to Bekele. Not looking good. Lawrence Cherono trying to string them out.
