Prologue sets seeding for stage 1
|
Christoph Sauser and Burry Stander (Team songo-info) won the men's Cape Epic prologue, a format used only for the second time in its history. Sauser/Stander (40:58) beat 2008 prologue winners Kevin Evans and David George (MTN Energade) by the slim margin of five seconds. Hannes Genze and Jochen Kaess (Multivan Merida) came in third (41:45).
In the women's race Hanlie Booyens and Sharon Laws (Absa Ladies) won in a time of 56:26, ahead of Sarah Koch and Daniela Hartmann (2 Swiss Epic Girls) (01:02:30) and Robyn Adendorff and Sarah van Heerden (WSP – Jeep Girls) in third place (01:08:01).
For the first time in the history of the race, the 16.5km prologue circuit took place on the slopes of World Heritage site Table Mountain. The 1,200 teams raced for the honours of wearing the yellow and leader jerseys out of Gordon's Bay for the 112km stage race between Gordon's Bay and Villiersdorp.
Men's Category
The Men's Category during the Prologue was very competitive with what some labelled as "a slightly surprising result" and some of the favourites not making it to the podium.
Sauser is the reigning Cross Country World Champion and double World Cup Overall Champion with 16 World Cup wins behind his name. He has been racing professionally since 1993 and won the 2006 Absa Cape Epic with fellow Swiss rider Silvio Bundi. It is the second year in a row that he races with twenty-one year old Stander as team Songo.info. Stander is the current South African Under 23 Cross-Country mountain biking champion - a title he has won six times in different age groups. He also finished second in the Under 23 World Championship, second overall in the World Cup Andorra, fifth overall in the World Cup Series and 15th at the Beijing Olympic Games.

Sauser said "We hit the gas from the word go and actually deemed Karl Platt and Stefan Sahm to be faster than what they were in the end. We had a brief look at the route yesterday, got lost a few times, but finally had the key sections imprinted in our minds. So we could go fast."
Stander added "Today I felt that the prologue didn't go as well as it did last year, so it was a big surprise to me that we won. This is testimony that we're in good shape and takes the pressure off us."
According to David George, his advantage is rather the physical fitness than the technical strength. "Let's face it, I'm racing against the best technical rider in the world, Christoph Sauser, and I've actually been a roadie until last year. Considering all of this, my performance was not so bad."
Hannes Genze of Team Multivan Merida says they are very happy with their result because Kaess was ill last week. "Jochen only recovered in the last two days. I didn't think we could actually pull it off in the Prologue and Jochen was riding at his limit. Making it onto the podium was a sweet reward and a great way to start this year's race."
Ladies' Category
|
Booyens and Laws won the Absa Cape Epic Ladies division in 2004. They also raced together at La Ruta in Costa Rica the same year. In 2006 they raced the TransAlps and it was their last race as a team until now. Booyens said "It was very easy for us to connect again – we're good friends. Today was an absolutely stunning ride - I didn't even notice the burnt veld. We kicked off as the sun was rising and the whole of Table Mountain was glowing - it was marvellous.
"Of course we were a bit worried about today, but it went far beyond our expectations. I was surprised at Sharon's strength – she has been doing a lot of road biking to strengthen her legs and the results are definitely there. We were going fast today, but definitely not overdoing it and are quite surprised at how well it went." Laws added "The next few days will be interesting – my longest ride prior to the Absa Cape Epic was a 200km road training run with only 56 km of climbing."
Mixed Category
|
Top riders Alison Sydor and Nico Pfitzenmaier (Adidas Big Tree) won the Mixed Category in a time of 49:03,5 minutes, followed by Ivonne Kraft and Lukas Kubis (Haibike-VMT) in second place (50:02,5). Third place went to Yolande Speedy and Paul Cordes (IMC/Momentum GT/Activeworx) in a time of 51:49,1 minutes.
Mountain biking legend Sydor and her racing partner Pfitzenmaier took a wrong turn at the start of the race, but quickly realised their mistake and turned around. According to Sydor, they have high expectations of the race this year. "We're riding for charity organisation Big Tree and would really like to do well. We feel very motivated. Today's course was great, but it was a bit looser than yesterday and we were blinded by the sun, which made it slightly difficult as we needed to focus on the technical terrain. We're satisfied that it went so well as we've not trained together at all. We communicated mostly via Skype, so our team capabilities were put to the test for the first time today."
Pfitzenmaier won the Mixed last year with then team mate Ivonne Kraft. He says riding with Alison went perfectly. "We both have good intuition and didn't need to speak in order to communicate. We're professional and experienced riders and could see each other's strengths, build on that and attack on the hills."
Ivonne Kraft, who finished in second place with team mate Lukas Kubis, says: "Winning last year with Nico was the top achievement for us as a team. We both felt we needed to change the dynamics of our racing and therefore entered with different team mates this year." After the race. Kraft, Yolande Speedy and Inbar Ronen will be going to Pietermaritzburg for a 'girl's camp' prior to the start of the World Cup which takes place from 9 to 12 April this year.
Masters Category
|
The Masters Category was won by Shan Wilson and Andrew Mclean (Cycle Lab Toyota) in a winning time of 47:18,2 minutes. They were closely followed by last year's overall winners in this category, Doug Brown and Bärti Bucher (Absa Masters) at 47:22,5. In third place was Corrie Muller and Robert Sim (Van Loveren/SAND) in a time of 50:19,2 minutes.
This will be Shan Wilson's sixth Absa Cape Epic. He was placed 3rd in the inaugural Absa Cape Epic and 5th in 2005 in the Men's category. Last year was his first year in the Masters category and he finished in second place overall with team mate Walter Platzgummer. Besides winning quite a number of stages in the previous Absa Cape Epic races, he is particularly known for his winning streaks in the Greyton area which has been part of the race twice. Wilson is by far the strongest Master rider in South Africa and his challenge is always to find an equally strong partner such as Platzgummer who is one of the best Masters riders in Europe. Platzgummer took a very bad fall last year and they therefore could not fulfil their dream of wearing the victory crown.
This year Wilson is racing with Andrew Mclean who won the Masters category with Damian Booth in 2007. Said Wilson: "The Prologue sets the tone and gives you a very good idea of how fit and strong you are. Although we only won by four seconds, the pressure is now on the other teams to challenge us. It's mentally a very good thing to start the first stage wearing the Blue Leader Jersey – it gives you a bit of extra confidence."
Gordon's Bay, the small, idyllic seaside town on the Eastern edge of False Bay sees the start of Stage 1, taking riders over 112km and 2 769m of climbing to Villiersdorp. The first stage of the Absa Cape Epic has never been easy and will be no exception this year. The early steep ascents will stretch out the field, just in time for some rocky single-track. Then riders cross under the N2 and into the Grabouw plantations towards Nuweberg. Still to come is a familiar highlight of the Absa Cape Epic - Groenlandberg. The 5km climb starts off at about 8%. The surface is loose and difficult to maintain momentum, but the gradient eases up near the top. Riders need to take care on the very treacherous downhill, and halfway along the flat 10km gravel section there is a hot spot sprint. Riders need to save something for the last 15km – with several sharp rises on farm roads and dual track - it could take a while to get to Villiersdorp, where riders will settle in for two nights.
