Maybe. He doesn't seem to have much competition unless there's a dark horse in there with a negative split pacing strategy. There don't seem to be any Vets in the top 10 and most of them have previous DNFs:
Ed Brun - DNF 2018
Brad Crossley 2017 FIN 35 days
Donald Forth - DNF 18
David Gates ~30 days
Paul Gremmen DNF 18
Matthijs Ligt - DNF 18
Brett McKusick - DNF 18
Rolf Riley - DNF18
Michael Robison - 22 days 2018
Claudio Stasolla - DNF 18
Amy Williams ~30 days
Andrej Zaman ~30 days in 2016
I guess his plan is "get gap, hold it".
Let's hope it's not going to be "get gap, blow up in Kansas"
