2012 Absa Cape Epic Stage 2 Highlights

The 119km (with 1 650m of climbing) route traversed the beautiful rolling dual tracks through the stony Klein Karoo, passing through the charming village of McGregor. It was a special day out for the riders. For those who managed to avoid tunnel vision, it was a geologist's paradise with remarkable sandstone formations. Some might say this was too much fun for the Absa Cape Epic, but riders were soon brought back down to earth -- the rocks may have created beautiful formations but they were sharp. With knife-edged shale and a carpet of thorns, heavy-duty tyres were essential. After passing through Van Loveren Wine Estate on some severe vineyard hills, a district road took the race past Ashton as they headed towards the mountains for some short but steep climbs before returning to Robertson.

stage 5

The team suffers through a brutal day as the weather takes a massive change for the worse over night. Rain, hail and cold soak the field but Burry Stander and Christoph Sauser prevail again, taking first place in another sprint finish and adding another minute to their GC lead, now at 26 minutes!

The rain seemed to speed up Kohei and Max as they rolled in at 6th having held 5th for most of the race.

Seems like for everyone the Absa Cape Epic just wouldn't be the same without a little dose of misery!
