Stage 1 of the Absa Cape Epic is always referred to as one of the most challenging of the race, and it was no different for the 2014 event. The stage was as tough as it was beautiful with the most spectacular views rewarded after the most demanding climbs.

Yesterday the second stage of the Absa CAPE EPIC 2014 took place. Again in the area around Arabella Wines near Robertson. 101 kilometres in distance and 1.550 climbing promised to be a little bit less heavy than the first stage, but due to heavy rain falls the single trails were soaked and very difficult to ride!
Stage 2/7 - Results:
1st place: Topeak-Ergon Racing - 8-1 Robert Mennen (GER) / 8-2 Kristian Hynek (CZE)
2nd place: Bulls1 - 2-1 Karl Platt (GER) / 2-2 Urs Huber (GER)

Today is Stage 3 and it marks the first transition, from Hermanus to Oak Valley Estate.

The riders have to climb 2300 meters before returning Oak Valley Estate, ahead of the time trial on Stage 4. Today’s race was decided on the very last meters in a sprint finish between four teams.

After a relatively short Prologue, things were being turned up a notch as the race properly got under way. The route headed through the best of the Hemel en Aarde Valley singletracks and into the searing Overberg planes. The outbound loop trended relentlessly uphi...
