The sixth stage of the Absa CAPE EPIC 2014 took place in South Africa yesterday. With 85km in distance and 1.800 climbing metres the route was less brutal than in yesterday`s stage 5! However the riders had to be fully concentrated on the technical demanding single tracks around Oak Valley, as the Top 5 teams in the overall ranking were still close together! Every single mistake or problem would have been unforgiven.

Stage 6 was the “reward day”, full of manicured and purpose-built single track. It was perfect for the cross-country specialists like Schurter and Buys. The weather played along nicely and riders still in the race definitely earned the rewards of Stage 6. Although there were 1 800m of total climbing, riders mostly remembered the amazing single track descents dotted along the route.

The seventh stage of the Absa CAPE EPIC 2014 took place in South Africa today. With 69km in distance and 1.800 climbing metres the riders had to climb the same high as in stage 6. However the riders had to get along with the final hurdles, like the climb up Nuweberg on forestry roads, with its steep and washed out descent. For the Grand Finale the riders were welcomed in Lourensford Bowl.
