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)

Stage 3 was the longest day of the 2014 Absa Cape Epic, and was characterized by rolling hills and gravel roads. It had been described as a transition stage – with less demanding terrain – but a persistent wind made for tough conditions.

It was their first-ever stage win at the Absa Cape Epic. Overall leaders in yellow Andreas Seewald (GER) and Martin Stosek (CZE) finished in second 2 minutes and 6 seconds behind.
