After a week of sand, rocks and long, brutal stretches of rough riding, riders at the Absa Cape Epic enjoyed something of a “fun” day out on Stage 6. Of course, fun is relative at the Cape Epic and the second last day of the race, while only 71km long, still featured 2000m of climbing and technical riding on the world-class trails of Welvenpas.
The day started wet and chilly on the fields of CPUT’s Wellington campus, but ended much like the rest of the week – with Team RECM Specialized stepping once more into the orange jersey in the late-morning heat. Christoph Sauser and Jaroslav Kulhavy also commandeered another stage win, making it one step closer to Sauser's 5th Absa Cape Epic win.
