He is struggling, but he is going at a good pace!! Kudos to him!

RACE 8:44 Kaess can't fix rear tyre, rides on rim. Tricky on this rocky singletrack descent. He is all ovrt the place

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

WP1 is awaiting leading riders! Who's going to need the 1st pro rider tech support?? #absacapeepic pic.twitter.com/oISEObN1XT
Leaders around the 34km mark, about 15km to WP1 and then the big climb of the day. Then 5km and +/- 600m

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.

As confirmed earlier - today's route sees very little mobile reception which will affect tracking as well as race updates… #absacapeepic

“@Plattos: @AbsaCapeEpic is loosing more and more riders@rudivanhouts what a drama #hannesgenze pic.twitter.com/Kx8DRaR6OC” just not the same!

RACE 8:57 Word from ground: it was actually @TeamTopeakErgon that double flatted and @centurionvaude donated their wheels - what a gesture
