Stage 3 - Monday, March 31: Calitzdorp - Riversdale, 133km
Cannondale Vredestein's Paulissen and Fuglsang assume overall lead while Rocky Mountain wins again
Men's leaders Songo.info withdraw
|
Stage three provided some excitement with overall leaders Songo.Info dropping out of the race, and the first three teams crossing the finish line within seconds of each other. Roel Paulissen and Jakob Fuglsang of the Cannondale Vredestein team repeated as stage winners by crossing the finish line in Riversdale first in 4:16:02. This was just one second ahead of the MTN Energade Team of Kevin Evans and David George and five seconds ahead of the German Bulls team of Karl Platt and Stefan Sahm.
Technically Karl Platt (Bulls) was the first to cross the finish line, but the rules of the Absa Cape Epic stipulate that both riders from a team need to cross the finish line before the official time is allocated, with Sahm's 4:16:07 ultimately used as the stage result. He was still struggling from gastric problems, which no doubt caused a loss of energy and took its toll.
Songo.Info dropped out of the race after Burry Stander suffered from a knee injury and had to withdraw at waterpoint two. Unfortunately, it also meant the end of the road for his team-mate World and European marathon mountain bike champion Christoph Sauser.
Teams were taken up a 13 km steady drag on smooth dirt roads over Rooiberg Pass. It steepened to 9% before a 70kph decent into the valley. After some sharp, rolling hills, riders crossed game country, where antelope, giraffe, leopard, and caracal watched the riders charge through. Then followed rough terrain. The rock formations were as geologically fascinating as they were race threatening in the event of a bad line or poor tyre choice. A long slog on a dirt road came before Garcia pass, a tarred, gentle climb and descent that took them into Riversdale.
Fulglsang said he hadn't been feeling well but is getting stronger every stage. "I especially struggled with the technical climbs and loose rocks, but fortunately Roel felt strong. The stage was partially very flat, but quite hard as it was very bumpy at times and I don't particulalry like that."
George and Evans wanted to win, but thought they did pretty well anyway to finish second by only one second. Both said that if they didn't have a bad day during stage one (when Evans fell ill), they would still be competing for the leaders' jersey.

Commenting on fellow Stander's injury and subsequent withdrawal from the race, George said, "Burry is an extremely talented guy and has the ability to push himself over and above, and that clearly took its toll. When you are young and inexperienced this sometimes happens. But he has a big future ahead of him and he mustn't be too disappointed."
For much of the stage, it was fourth place finishers Brandon Stewart and Max Knox take of Team USN who led the race. On top of Rooibergpass they were ahead by 45 seconds, a gap that built up to six minutes. However, at Garcia Pass, Bulls and MTN Energade sped up and pushed harder as they were eager to win the stage and catch up on their overall ranking. USN was eventually caught on the top of Garcia Pass when the top three teams took the lead for the remainder of the race.
The German Alb-Gold Mountainbike team, who finished fifth for the day, encountered their first flat tyre 50 metres into the race, riding over a thorn. By the time they fixed it, 300 amateur riders had passed them. It took them 20 minutes to get back to the leading bunch. 60km into the race, Hannes Genze started to experience a loss of energy and had to let the other leading teams go, which left them between 30 to 60 seconds behind for most of the time. Approximately15 to 20 km before to the last waterpoint, they caught up with the Dolphin team and worked together to close the gap between them and the leading bunch.
"We realised at one point that we couldn't catch up, so we just rode at our own pace to keep our energy for the next stage - and rode to the finish with team Dolphin," Genze said. Still, their pace was fast enough to claim second position overall.
Hattrick for Rocky Mountain women
|
The Rocky Mountain team of Pia Sundstedt and Alison Sydor made it three stages in a row by finishing first in 4:58:00. South Africans Erica Green and Hanlie Booyens, the Absa Ladies, managed for the first time to take the runner-up honours in this category, at 5:16:49 after two fourth place stage finishes. Dolphin-Trek MTB Racing - Fabienne Heinzmann and Katrin Schwing arrived third at a time of 5:25:13.
Rocky Mountain therefore successfully kept its overall lead. It's almost one hour ahead of the Dolphin-Trek MTB Team and the Trek / VW WSD Team.
Despite making it look easy, Sydor said there are obstacles to overcome every day. "Not a single day seems to run smoothly. Today, only 2km from the start, we had a big crash that involved many of the top females including myself, Pia and Fabienne of Dolphin-Trek Mtb Racing. It almost took out a good portion of the top female riders!"
She explained that a descent with a hump in the road, coupled with excessive dust from other riders, made it difficult to see, and the crash was inevitable. "You could feel it coming, but there was nothing you could do about it - in a situation like that you can only try not to ride into someone else or at least only their bike in order to minimise the damage." Sydor fell and hurt her knee, a similar injury to her riding partner Sundstedt's knee injury which she sustained prior to the Cape Epic. "Now that we truly feel each others' pain, there is no reason to complain."
Sydor said that this stage was more like what she expected from South Africa in terms of terrain and scenery. "It was super fun, especially all the jeep tracks. It was of course still a tough route and we really enjoyed the tar section towards the end where we could relax our muscles a bit. We are delighted that we won again, of course, but apart from that we are also very happy with the riding experience."
Jennifer Smith and Susan Haywood (Trek/VW WSD), who secured the fourth position, lost almost six minutes at the 71km mark. "We got a bad flat in the rocky terrain and we first pumped it up with air, but it was not working. We then changed the tube, without luck, and had to re-change it again for the second time. After that we were on our own, paddling against headwinds during the downhill to make up for lost time," says Smith. Arriving at the finish line completely out of breath, and with paramedics assisting her immediately, Smith added that she was worried when her heartrate on route wasn't bad, but she experienced muscular fatigue. "But at least it is easier to recover from muscular problems," she said optimistically.
Absa Masters dominate masters
The Absa Masters, Doug Brown and Barti Bucher continued to dominate in their category for the third day in a row, boasting with a stage win of 4:46:10. Pragma Masters, M.C.Franken and Peter Buggle managed to secure the second position for the first time, completing their stage race at 4:47:22. They were followed by Adidas Williams Simspon who up to now secured the second spot in every stage.
Broken chain causes change yields new Mixed category winner
|
For the first time since stage one Joybike Guided by Vmt and Maloja had to not only see Cyclelab Toyota steal their usual stage winning position. The team of Ivonne Kraft and Nico Pfitzenmaier finished fourth as Cyclelab Toyota's Yolande de Villiers and Johan Labuschagne took top honours at a time of 4:58:09, followed by Absa Mixed, Kobus Barnard and Fienie Barnard at 5:13:07, and Adidas Fourie Kotze,and Amy Mundy at 5:14:31.
Pfitzenmaier explained the team's lack of another win. "My chain broke no less than four times today. Ivonne waited for me initially, but later on I told her to just go on without me and I would catch up with her and the group of riders. As fate would have it, I would catch up with them, just to have my chain break again moments later." Despite the misfortune, he says that he doesn't believe that it is bad luck.
"It is just the nature of sport. Anything can happen in terms of equipment failures, especially during a mountain bike stage race. I won't let anything spoil my enjoyment of this experience." de Villiers was doing well despite her shoulder injury from the day before.
Joybike Guided by Vmt and Maloja retained their overall lead (17:55:12), followed by Cyclelab Toyota (18:06:35) and Absa Mixed (18:42:23).
On to stage four finishing in Swellendam
Stage four will run from Riversdale to Swellendam over rolling hills through the farmlands will give the power riders a chance to ply their trade. Then come the big ones - heartbreak one and heartbreak two, the second of which is 4.5km long with a 7% gradient. After two days in the Karoo, riders will pass through dairy country before heading into Grootvadersbosch, another Cape Nature jewel, and back into some lush forests again - a welcome shelter from the harsh sun. More climbing, technical descents and river crossings follow - passable only by foot, or on a mountain bike. A short tar section passes the historical mission village of Suurbraak. At the weir crossing it's only 12km home. Riders will have to watch out for the short forest climbs that steepen up to 15% - it will take longer than expected to get into Swellendam.
