Sinead Diver is going for this one from the front as the women’s race heads north and heads past a bookies and a Budgens. The news on David Weir is that he is half a minute off the lead in the men’s wheelchair race.
In the elite men’s wheelchair race, it appears David Weir is not in touch with the leaders so his ninth win looks a distant prospect. Manuela Schar, going for a sweep of marathon majors, seems to have slowed a tad, but is still way ahead of any visible rivals. In fact, her rivals are invisible, if they actually exist at all.
