Seriously....? Having a team a guys help you keep a pace during a race is literally standard practice for most competitive "racers". This is done during track races, other road races and even bicycling races. He ran a marathon 26.2 miles at a freaking 4:36 mile pace and ran the final mile at 4:21!!

When Roger Bannister broke to 4 minute mile in 1956, he also ran it during a "non-race" event on a track. This is incredible and he will break the 2 hour mark in a real road race soon....he only missed it by like 40 seconds or less last year anyways.

It is amazing Ill give it that but its a lab experiment.

Lets see him do this as he bumps up against the fat Austrian offering him a beer.

Having an amazing athlete thrown off his pace by the fat Austrian would be a crime but that is the nature of road racing and what everyone must face.

Make it pure.

1 man, 1 time.

Ill allow the laser device that works to ensure he does not run one more step than necessary over the 26.2 mile course but how do all the draft horses not equate to the "boost" from PEDs.

Id never break the ten hour mark let alone the 2 hour time.
