Można powiedzieć, że historyczny etap ABSA Cape Epic, bo po raz pierwszy w historii tej etapówki dystans został skrócony ze względu na upały. Jeśli chodzi o rywalizację sportową, to jak widać na zdjęcia tasowali się zawodnicy ekip Scott SRAM, Specialized i Cannondale. Jak to się skończyło przeczytacie w naszym raporcie z etapu – link.
