Stage 5 - March 3: Greyton
Leaders reshuffle after fast stage
Report by Sonja Güldner-Hamel, Cape Epic staff
The Cape Epic's fast fifth stage to Greyton, a beautiful small town in the Overberg, which reminds more of an Old English village than a South African settlement, shuffled stage winners in all categories and introduced some new faces to the daily awards.
Pure Country - No Additives
The claim of the small town of Greyton - 'Pure Country, No Additives' - could be by a mountain biker. And the area, which hosts the annual Dirtopia mountain bike festival every year at Easter, is surrounded by beautiful scenic mountain bike trails and spectacular single tracks. To properly welcome the riders from around the world, the village moved its traditional Saturday Market to Wednesday and offered a variety of local produce, baked goods, and healthy homemade country food to the hungry bunch.
Children from three local schools lined the finish and cheered enthusiastically for all incoming riders, waiving with hand painted South African flags and dancing to the music of 'Mike Mike' Hamel, The Cape Epic Marketing and Infotainment Director, who moderates the event together with South Africa's voice of mountain biking, Paul Valstar.
Kenyans ride best race so far
Stage number five brought out a team from Kenya. David Njau and Davidson Kamau (team Imperial Logistics) were in the lead over several kilometres with an impressive gap by three and a half minutes. However, they could not maintain their advantage when the other leaders started chasing them and were caught just outside Greyton. Eventually they came in third after a tight sprint finish. Team GT Africa won the stage in a time of 3:50.13 followed by the Dutch team Tom Tailor/Santos/ Walkabout with Crocodile Trophy Champion Jaap Viergever and Dennis Teeuwen.
"Today's stage was very flat", says Shan Wilson. "The bunch at the front was a lot bigger and tactics played a great part. We had to keep the pace high to avoid people coming back onto the Peleton, so the race was very fast and very hard." Asked about the performance of the Kenyans, Wilson says: "I am very impressed. We dropped them earlier in the race in the first climb. Later a group of ten riders came back to the leading group and they were in it. In Riversonderend they had luck with the headwind and started an attack, we only caught them near the finish line. Congratulations to the Kenyans, they rode a very good race." Both Kenyans were impressed by the sportsmanship of the European riders. "We are not very good sprinters, so they said we should go ahead and start the sprint and they gave us an advantage", explains David Njau who was not disappointed that he didn't win the stage. "I always want the best team to win. They caught us and they were better in the sprint finish, so it's ok for me. We are very happy with our third place today."
South African victory in Mixed category
In the Mixed category, several time South African Champion Hannele Steyn-Kotze and her team partner Johann Greef (RSA), team Fiat /Bianchi, celebrated their first stage victory. "Today was our chance and we had to attack", says Hannele, who originally wanted to race The Cape Epic with her husband Fourie Kotze, but had to find a new partner after he had a training accident. "The Germans are very strong. Yesterday we said, we have to kill them if we want to win, but today it was going well and we joined a group that was actually too fast for us, but we thought we must cling to them and use our chance, even if it hurts." With their laborious attack they caught up twelve and a half minutes in the overall rankings. The leading Mixed team HAI Bike/ Scott with Kirsten Rösel (GER) and Robert Eder (GER) on the other hand, was chased by bad luck today. Three punctures, breaking air cartridges and heavy nose bleed for Kirsten slowed the strong team down, which introduced new faces to the Mixed podium today: Team Falke with Michelle Lombardi (RSA) and Philip Swanepoel (RSA) finished second.
Tough enough?
TV editor Monika Birk (GER) who works on a report about The Cape Epic for German television and rides together with Christine Hölzl (GER), team hr Fiat Rotwild, came in third. Despite the fact that Monika's behind is has open wounds after 500 kilometres of cycling, the two German girls attacked. "Christine was in a racing mood today. Our legs were strong enough and I couldn't let her down. So I grit my teeth and tried to ignore my pain for a while", Birk says.
Up to now about fifty teams could not finish at least one of the epic stages, which means they do no longer qualify for the limited adidas Cape Epic finisher T-shirt and medal that are only awarded to those riders who have completed all eight stages of the inaugural Magical and Untamed African Mountain Bike Race.
