Hej! Na #mtbxcpl piszę o kolarstwie dzięki TOBIE!
Wspieraj mnie, żebym mógł dalej być blisko kolarstwa, robić relacje z zawodów, pisać i zarażać pasją.
Na pierwszym etapie ABSA Cape Epic 2017 karty rozdawali przede wszystkim Fumic / Avancini z Cannondale. Swoje próby ataku miały także ekipy Specialized oraz Scott SRAM, ale na przeszkodzie stawały a to defekty, a to upadki. Pełną relację oraz materiału wideo z pierwszego etapu znajdziecie tu. A poniżej z kilkuset zdjęć wybraliśmy jakieś czterdzieści pokazujących trudy i uroki etapu.
