There is the bell!
Final lap and it is Sisay Lemma who presses the pedal.
We are down to four with Mosinet Geremew, Shura Kitata and Vincent Kipchumba alongside him at at the front.
Geremew might be the favourite out of all of these. He has the pedigree but Kipchumba's long stride looks ominous.
There is a British title up for grabs as well. Ben Connor and Jonny Mellor are going to duel it out having broken free of the domestic pack...
Who wants this title then?
Ethiopia's Shura Kitata is at the front. Sisay Lemma and Mosinet Geremew are also involved with Mule Wasihun...
Eliud Kipchoge is being cut adrift here!
The pack are leaving him behind.
There will not be a fifth title defence. It is not just the 20m gap, it is the fact that there are six men making it. He won't overhaul them all.
Two laps of this 1.9km circuit to go.
Ethiopia's Shura Kitata has eased up the pace. Eliud Kipchoge floats towards the back of the pack. He really doesn't look right.

The course, the weather, it's all coming into play now and with this group we are set for an exciting finish.
This will be one of Kipchoge's slowest marathons. He's been so dominant but is today the day that something changes?
Normally he'd have whittled the pack down to one or two but the group is still very strong.
Eliud Kipchoge is going to have to win this race in a style completely out of keeping with his usual dominance.
The Kenyan has come through the last mile in more than five minutes. He is part of a leading group of eight, none of whom will have been stretched by this pace. Mosinet Geremew, Vincent Kipchumba, Benson Kipruto are all involved and looking fresh.
A quarter of an hour to go....

The others have to think that Kipchoge is beatable and should realise he might not be at his best.
Image source, PA MediaThe pace has come off the heat a little bit and Eliud Kipchoge, after refusing to be flustered by a little spurt of pace a mile or so, is back at the front of the pack.
Does that put him in credit? I think it is still too much of a crowd scene for the Kenyan great's liking...

This is not normal. That is a big group still at this stage of the race. Normally Kipchoge would have burnt off more of them but there's still a group of very talented, very fast marathon runners.

Phew. That looks like hard work.
It would be a bold text commentator to announce that Eliud Kipchoge is cooked in a marathon. But there is definitely a move being made against the King. Tamirat Tola and Vincent Kipchumba are leading the insurrection.
Five laps to go...

You are just seeing little flickers in Kipchoge's face. I am not sure about him...
Well, well. Here we go.
Ethiopia's Sisay Lemma cranks up the pace to see if Eliud Kipchoge can cope with a little more gas.
Lemma - whose sub 2:04 PB means he has been free-wheeling somewhat - is followed by Kipchoge. But the stranglehold that he and his training group had on the pace has been broken.

The second group on the course, aimed at the 2:11 Olympic qualifying time, have come through halfway in 65:18. Bang on time for their target.
Mo Farah has taken off the gloves. Not metaphorically. His hands are toasty and, an hour in, he is ready to dispense with the gloves.
