The Absa Cape Epic kicked off the 22nd edition of the untamed African mountain bike race. The eight-day race is often referred to as the "Tour de France of mountain biking" and it‘s the most prestigious mountain bike stage race on the planet. This year it attracted 725 teams of two from 58 nations including World, European, and National Champions next to aspiring amateurs testing themselves against the best.
Long an unrelenting, Stage 2 asked questions that built on those from Stage 1. The riders went out on a 102km loop with 2.250 meters of climbing around the beautiful landscapes of Montagu once more. The climbing began immediately all the way to the summit of Ouberg Pass. At the top, a long ridgeline stretched out as far as the eye can see, before the riders headed to the tough descent of Slagkloof and made their way back to Montagu.
