Absa Cape Epic @AbsaCapeEpic 9h RACE 8:57 Word from ground: it was actually @TeamTopeakErgon that double flatted and @centurionvaude donated their wheels - what a gesture
Yes, he is strong, We all had bets on him not to finish. LOL looks like he gonna be a rich man on sunday!! He is struggling, but he is going at a good pace!! Kudos to him!

Absa Cape Epic @AbsaCapeEpic 9h RACE 8:40 Kaess hits something that causes both wheels to flat. They've lost 5 min so plans for a stage win unlikely to pan out today
Absa Cape Epic @AbsaCapeEpic 9h RACE 8:22 first big climb of the day and @TeamTopeakErgon are well in control.@centurionvaude and @sauserwind @frantisekrabon close by
Absa Cape Epic @AbsaCapeEpic 9h WP1 is awaiting leading riders! Who's going to need the 1st pro rider tech support?? #absacapeepic pic.twitter.com/oISEObN1XT Expand
Absa Cape Epic @AbsaCapeEpic 9h Leading riders are expected at WP1 after 50km of riding at around 8h50.Mobile reception seems to be sufficient at that point. #absacapeepic
A friend of mine got an entry 4 weeks before the epic. he did 1 ride on his MTB, in that 4 weeks and wasnt on the MTB in the last year. His last 2 months of traing consisted of less than 10 days in the saddle. He is still in the race and at 15km mark right now. GC 390 Cat Pos 200
Absa Cape Epic @AbsaCapeEpic 9h As confirmed earlier - today's route sees very little mobile reception which will affect tracking as well as race updates… #absacapeepic

Absa Cape Epic @AbsaCapeEpic 9h RACE 7:54 All together, @TeamTopeakErgon keep the pace on rolling farmlands. Everyone in attendance accept @Josehermida who is just off pace
Crystal Arnold @Crystal_Arnold 9h “@Plattos: @AbsaCapeEpic is loosing more and more riders@rudivanhouts what a drama #hannesgenze pic.twitter.com/Kx8DRaR6OC” just not the same! View photo
If the trackers are correct the leaders at 26km Johan Badenhorst @Jb_Badenhorst83 9h At M8 @AbsaCapeEpic big bunch together. Moving fast! About 10 teams incl Vaude, Topeak, Bulls, Songo Specialized, Bmc and Scott, ReCm
Epic R48 000.00 Sani2c R10 760.00 Jogerg2c R22 000.00 +/- Ride the Rock R9600.00 3 Towers R6600.00 Knysna 200 R6300.00 So that price looks good for 3 days. just over 1000 per day per rider! Thats the going rate
If this isnt intentionally done, on the prologue, then I don't know. And thisa was televised world wide for all to see. Yesterdays incidence was on gopro, just for the riders to see!!!
