    Three-time Absa Cape Epic winner Stefan Sahm has turned media crew member for 2016. But unlike the rest of us, he (sort of) gets to ride his mountain bike with the leading pack. Stefan is part of the collaboration between Bulls Bikes and 3sixtv bringing us footage from the trails of the Absa Cape Epic in 360 degrees. To help him zoom between the pros during the race, while carrying six GoPros above his head, Stefan is using a custom Bulls E-Stream EVO FS 3 29 e-bike. Click here to view the article

    After 13 years working behind the scenes Kevin Vermaak has finally decided to experience the race he founded from a unique angle; his saddle. Team “Finally”, Vermaak and riding partner Cedric ”Jakes” Jakobsen, a downhiller with six Cape Epics to his credit, completed Stage 5 of the tough race on Friday – and it’s now just a (bunny)hop, skip and jump to the finish at Meerendal no Sunday.

    The Specialized Epic is quite likely the defacto bike of choice at the Absa Cape Epic. We've seen countless examples of Specialized's cross-country racer this year, but this particular bike is quite special. Christoph Sauser's Epic S-Works is decked out in a custom Investec Songo Specialized paint strip. Something about the Investec zebra black, white and silver all fits quite nicely. And somewhat ironically, even in retirement Sauser still dons a zebra jersey, albeit of a different sort to that of his Epics past. Click here to view the article

    Stage 4 of the 2016 Absa Cape Epic was a good day for Sipho Madolo and Christoph Sauser. Madolo despite not being completely over his stomach bug put the hammer down making up for lost time on trails which suited his riding style. Click here to view the article

    Alban “The Albanator” Lakata cut a lonely figure as he completed Stage 4 of the Absa Cape Epic on Thursday – yet another quest to win a coveted Epic title doomed. His Topeak Ergon Racing teammate, the Czech Republic’s Kristian Hynek, crashed about 5km before the finish of Wednesday’s stage. Hynek started the stage on Thursday but pulled out before the first water point, leaving Lakata to continue on his own – leaving him to start as as Outcast on Stage 5 tomorrow, the status given to an elite rider whose partner has withdrawn.

    When Marleen Lourens got married 3-year-old Nicky Giliomee, was her flower girl. That was 19 years ago - on Tuesday, the pair rolled across the Absa Cape Epic’s finishline in Wellington, as riding partners. They had completed the 103km stage in a smidgen under 7 hours – and the fourth South African women’s team to finish. “Today was long and hot,” said Lourens, “But it’s Epic, which is why we keep coming back.” Click here to view the article
