Cape Epic champions and 723 finishers celebrate completion of strenuous 8-day MTB adventure
The weather could not have been better in honour of the finishers of the second annual Cape Epic, the Magical and Untamed African Race. They completed the final 47 kilometre long leg of their challenging mountain bike journey through the Western Cape under blue sunny skies. 433 two person teams from 32 countries around the globe had started eight days ago in Knysna at the Gardenroute; 723 of the 866 riders cycled all the way to Spier Wine Estate in Stellenbosch. In just 8 days they covered a distance of over 900 kilometres and climbed a total of 16 000 metres (i.e. almost twice the Mount Everest) on their mountain bikes and earned the honourable title 'Cape Epic Finisher'.
Today's last leg of the challenging stage race led the aspiring amateur athletes and international mountain bike champions once more through the magnificent scenery of the Western Cape to the beautiful Spier Wine Estate near Cape Town. On the final day of the Magical and Untamed African MTB Race, the 'mountain bike soul' was fed with some spectacular single track riding, technical climbs, and breathtaking downhills including the original '97 UCI World Cup DH track in Stellenbosch - in short everything that made this final stage of The Cape Epic another unforgettable mountain bike experience.
With a total riding time of 31 hours 20 minutes and 6.38 seconds, seven out of 8 stage victories, and a lead by 26.29 minutes, the Belgium-Dutch duo of Roel Paulissen (BEL), currently number 1 in the UCI World Rankings, and Bart Brentjens (NDL), Olympic Champion of 1996 and one of the most successful mountain bikers in the world, won the second edition of The Cape Epic. Hundreds of school children and spectators lined the finish chute, cheering excitedly when the two Giant team riders in yellow Cape Epic leader jerseys sprinted through the finish gate, followed by the second placed team Siemens Cannondale with the reigning World Cup Champion Christoph Sauser (SUI) and his team partner Fredrik Kessiakoff (SWE). "I am a little bit disappointed", said Fredrik Kessiakoff aftwerwards, "because we wanted to win the last stage. But Bart and Roel are too good sprinters; we simply cannot keep up with them. We dropped them a couple of times in the climbs and downhills, but they can always close the gap in the flat. Nevertheless, it was a fantastic ride today. I have really enjoyed The Cape Epic. It was a great adventure - not only the race, but also everything around it. I have never seen anything like this, except for the Olympics. The organisation was outstanding."
Pro riders impressed with amateurs
"Today we were attacked from the beginning by Christoph and Fredrik", said Roel Paulissen. "They desperately wanted to win that last stage. In the end they knew that they couldn't get away from us and we rolled to Spier until we started the sprint." Having also had their ups and downs during the past eight days, suffering from bad luck, tired legs, and pain, the World Cup pros were very impressed with the achievements of the amateurs competing in this race. "They really amaze me", Roel said. "I don't know how you can prepare for such a tough race if you have a full time job. And they ride twice as long as we do, so they have a lot less time to recover."
"You actually have to be very well trained to ride this race", said Fredrik Kessiakoff. "It is such a challenge to simply finish the Cape Epic. I suffered very much on the first three days and I take my hat off to every amateur who completed this race."
Evans/ Wieltschnig defend third place overall
South Africans celebrated their hero Kevin Evans (RSA) and his riding partner Silvio Wieltschnig (AUT) today, who managed to defend their third place overall in the final stage - something that no one, not even the athletes themselves, had expected prior to the race considering the world class field. "We were hoping to make it into the top 10 and were already thrilled when we maintained fifth place overall", Kevin said with a big smile. Team adidas Fiat Rotwild Scott started into the last leg of The Cape Epic with a two minute advantage. "I don't think I have ever seen Silvio so nervous before", so Kevin. "But I said to him last night that we just have to follow the Swiss guys." It wasn't that easy. Right after the start fast moving team Papival-Stoeckli-Move-Magazin caused a crash in which also Silvio was involved. "That was a shock. But Carsten Bresser, Karl Platt, Shan Wilson, and Brandon Stewart closed the gap for us. We really have to thank them. After that we just sat with the bunch, rode the downhill conservatively and tried not to risk a flat," said Silvio. After crossing the finish line in Spier just seconds behind Sandro Spaeth (SUI) and Thomas Zahnd (SUI), both Kevin Evans and Silvio Wieltschnig had tears in their eyes. "Words cannot describe my feelings", so Kevin. "This is the highlight of my cycling career. I can't they thanks enough for the support from adidas and Scott. They made it all possible. But my biggest thanks goes to Silvio for hanging in there. He had to dig so deep, because he came straight out of winter and was not in the same shape and format as everybody else. I take my hat off to his achievement."
Karl Platt (GER) and Carsten Bresser (GER) of team Rocky Mountain who were struck by bad luck throughout the race, managed to complete their Cape Epic with a place on the final stage podium. "I had very good legs today, as if somebody replaced them over night", said Karl. "After the crash, we decided to help Kevin and Silvio to close the gap. Then on the last few kilometres we grabbed our chance to finish with a third place."
Final stage win for Booyens/Lombardi
Back on home territory, Scott Ladies Hanlie Booyens (RSA) and Michelle Lombardi (RSA) proofed their outstanding technical skills by winning the final stage of The Cape Epic with a gap of 9 minutes to the overall Cape Epic Women champions Hannele Steyn-Kotze (RSA) and Zoë Frost (RSA) of team Fiat Bianchi adidas 2. The two, who dominated the female race for a week, were hit by a puncture on the last day, but still had a total gap of over 36 minutes when they crossed the finish line in Spier. "It was a long week", Zoë said. "Now I am happy that it is over. I really struggled on the first two days, but after stage 3 I felt that I was getting stronger every day. Now I am looking forward to see my husband and my twins."
Mixed Champion 2004 back on podium
With a constant performance over the past eight days, last year's Mixed Champion Kirsten Rösel (GER), who competed this year in the Women category (team Hai Bike/ Scrane.de) with Peronella Hattingh (RSA), a roadie she only met for the first time a few days prior to the event, enjoyed her second Cape Epic a lot more than the first one. "Last year I was constantly riding over my limits, because my partner was a lot stronger. This year I had time to enjoy the scenery; I could recover in the downhills and help my partner in the climbs. Of course, I was tired every night. But in comparison to last year's race in the Mixed category, this year was like a walk in the park."
Sauna Diana wins last stage/ Mongoose Getaway overall
Despite being the least experienced downhillers in the Masters category, "there are no downhill courses to practice at home, the Netherlands are flat", former road pros and multiple Tour de France participants Jan Siemons (NDL) and Jos van Aert (NDL) managed to win the last and very technical leg of the Cape Epic and thus the final battle for place 2 over team Specsavers. Team Mongoose Getaway with the overall leaders Doug Brown (RSA) and Friedrich Coleské (RSA) came in fourth today, but still won the Masters category dominantly with a lead by 14.5 minutes. "We took it easy today", said Doug Brown. "We enjoyed the last stage, just looking after our tires and not risking a crash on the last day. This race truly is an Epic in every sense of the word."
Erlank/White dominate Mixed category till last stage
With a phenomenal last stage performance Anke Erlank (RSA) and Nic White (RSA) proofed that they deservedly won the Mixed category. In the end, their gap to the second place summed up to 1 hour, 12 minutes and 46.7 seconds. "Today it was real mountain biking for me, I didn't feel very comfortable.", said Nic. "But Anke was strong enough to push me through." And his team partner said "Nic was amazing today. We had a very good start. My knee was hurting today and my saddle kept slipping down. But I loved the downhill, it had nice jumps and drops." The final battle over place 2 was won by Geddan Ruddock (RSA) and Jeannie Bomford (RSA) of team Manic Cycles/ Enduren. Leon Erasmus (RSA) and Liza Serfountain (RSA), team Fast n Fresh, lost four minutes on the last day and finished third overall.
In the afternoon, tired but proud Cape Epic finishers lazed under shadowy oaks in the beautiful Spier gardens, enjoyed their first glass of wine after eight gruelling days in the saddle and told their families and friends, who had all come out to the Winelands to celebrate their heroes, about their personal African MTB adventure.
After a week of carbo-loading, during which the only purpose of eating was to quickly and effectively refill the energy reservoir of a stressed body, the Cape Epic participants indulged in the large variety of delectable Cape African dishes prepared buffet style at Moyo at Spier restaurant. Proudly wearing their adidas finisher T-shirts and medals, the athletes from around the world celebrated their completion of the Magical and Untamed African Race in style with a great gala banquet and finisher party.
