The fifth day was like a bonus day – short, sweet and, most importantly, great fun! Riders already had a taste of the Bain’s MTB Trails at Welvanpas on the day before. It was a fantastic purpose-built network of single-track, perched between the Wellington vineyards and the slopes of Bain’s Kloof. The relatively short distance of 75 kilometers offered more single-track than any previous Absa Cape Epic stage, featuring some amazing cross-country terrain and lots of twisting ups and downs – all in all an extra enjoyable day to re-energise body and mind. To avoid any congestion on the trails, the start groups were staggered over 1,5 hours.
The weather was quite mild today and chilly early in the morning. It was a show of power with Sauser and Kulhavy of Burry Stander – SONGO winning the stage. Nino Schurter and Florian Vogel of Scott-Swisspower MTB-Racing were riding with Sauser and Kulhavy and the gap just grew between them and the other riders. Burry Stander – SONGO eventually dropped them too and proved that they were the strongest team in the race.
