Etappensieg für Christoph Sauser Der Berner Oberländer Mountainbiker Christoph Sauser hat zusammen mit seinem Partner Fredrik Kessiakoff (Sd) die 2. Etappe des über acht Tage führenden "Cape Epic" in Südafrika gewonnen. (rp/Si) Im Gesamtklassement belegen Sauser/Kessiakoff den 2. Platz. Das zweite Teilstück führte über 144,6 km von Saasveld nach George. Auf Grund der hohen Anforderungen (Höhendifferenz von 2720 m) gab es am Schluss keine Vorstösse mehr. Sauser/Kessiakoff siegten im Spurt vor Roel Paulissen/Bart Brentjens. Der Belgier und der Holländer hatten die erste Etappe mit 10:37 Minuten Vorsprung vor Sauser/Kessiakoff für sich entschieden und führen die Gesamtwertung mit der gleichen Differenz an. http://www.cape-epic.com/ The CAPE EPIC - The Magical and Untamed African Mountain Bike Race » Home CLICK HERE for 2005 results.

The CAPE EPIC is the largest full-service mountain bike stage race in the world. The CAPE EPIC, presented by adidas, will kick off for the second time on 2 April 2005 in Knysna and lead over 800 mountain bikers from 29 countries across the globe through the magnificent scenery of the Western Cape.

(Franschhoek) to Spier Wine Estate (Stellenbosch). The route, characterised by dusty and demanding gravel paths, strenuous up and thrilling down hills, magnificent river crossings and stunning single tracks, is tougher and more attractive than in the first year. After the enormous success of the inaugural CAPE EPIC, private land owners have opened their gates for the second edition, including Sanbona, the Cape's newest Big Five Game Reserve. On their way from Barrydale to Montagu, the competitors will see probably the most amazing stretch of land of the entire CAPE EPIC with a good chance to catch a glimpse of elephants, giraffe, gemsbok, springbok or even lions. Despite offering 40% more South African start places for 2005, all 250 South African 2- person team start places were snapped up in just 4 hours and 51 minutes on the 1st of June and all international start places were taken by October. However, there are still chances to experience The CAPE EPIC 2005 without actually racing http://www.cape-epic.com/ (1 von 2) [11.05.2005 22:06:28] The CAPE EPIC - The Magical and Untamed African Mountain Bike Race it. You can join our Volunteer Programme or our Companion Programme of the Magical and Untamed African Race. The companion programme has been designed for those who love the idea of mountain biking through the Western Cape and riding trails that are opened to mountain bikers only once a year for The CAPE EPIC, but who don't want to race nearly 900 kilometres; whose partner is riding the Epic and who would like to share the experience without actually cycling the whole way; who prefer staying in a hotel and enjoying a few picnic lunch-stops along the route. However, there is no need to be jealous of the luxury accommodation companions enjoy. For 2005, The CAPE EPIC offers a Premium Upgrade Option for those riders that would prefer a few more luxuries than the Epic Race Village offers. Premium package riders stay in hotels and guest houses and get their own dedicated masseur and host. http://www.cape-epic.com/ (2 von 2) [11.05.2005 22:06:28].

    RACE REVIEW | western cape Absa Cape Epic NEXT RACE 19-26 MarCH 2017 The 654km route took riders from Meerendal Wine Estate in Durbanville to Tulbagh, Wellington, Stellenbosch and back to Meerendal over eight days of tough climbs and long country roads. AN AMABUBESI REFLECTS… After completing six Absa Cape Epics, Robert Vogel thinks he has had his fill… Or will the FOMO set in again? Looking back over six tough races – and a sixth that was the toughest of all – he wonders what keeps riders coming back for more year on year. It’s not a route you take lightly – and if you do, you pay the price. So why is it worth the suffering, the injuries and the emotions that go up and down to rival the route profile?
