Not available outside of Ireland.

Eurosport are uploading most of them to YouTube if they’re available in your region?

Or a VPN if not.

Yeah will give the VPN a go later.

RTE taking world feed commentary for the marathon is disappointing. Surely they could have wheeled out George Hamilton for one last ride?

What a tribute to the late Diana, Princess Of Wales that the marathon route goes through the tunnel where her car ploughed into a pillar.

Kipchoge dropped on the first hill - he’s cooked. Course is ridiculously hilly - organiser’s ego for Paris sights has trumpeted an even race

There’s a wall of a hill at the end of the marathon route I think. Could make it interesting

Apart from Adeleke is it confirmed what other teams are making additions? Is Bol in for NL?

Holding his hip like some young fella after being subbed off :grinning:

Think the last few ks are fairly flat. Last major climb is at 29k. There’s one crazy downhill on way back in where some were suggesting they’ll run close to a 4 min mile.

Bol will be in for NL

US will add in McLaughlin, Ellis and Holmes

GB will add in Anning

Jamaica will add in Pryce and potentially 1 others who’s name I can’t recall

This marathon is in store for a cracking finish. The top 14 all within a minute of the leader with 10km left. GB, NL and a range of other countries outside of Ethiopia and Kenya involved
