Will it be Makau who on his day can destroy any filed or Kipsang who is out to revenge on Kiprotich for the defeat in Olmpympics. I also hear on flat courses, Mutai Geoffrey can run like a crazy man!
Who is your money on?
The race will probably be won by someone completely new from your list above.
A marathon is a marathon, my friend.
Plus, the days when Kenyans could dominate their challengers by sheer mental force seem to be ending. Uganda's Kiprotich showed Kenyans are beatable. Ref: Boston, men's result
