Since nobody's posting news about the race, go back to page 2 and have a look at the full face helmet of the dude who abandoned!

 

Nah, what you are seeing is the bike helmet that might belong to the home owner. You can see his riding gloves with the helmet, atop one of those old garden tables made of steel wire.

LoL. Looks like a old Suid Afrika umbrella in the background but probably a Rabobank umbrella...although they are on farm land

An attack from @africanmtbkid, immediately Versluys + @FedGroupITEC are off. @Nedbank360life + @teambulls 2 able to respond

 

 

WP2 at 72km: Blend, Versluys +20'.. Versluys stopped to sort out a collapsed rear shock, duct-tapping to help but it's not going to hold..

I wouldn't mind being out there in the rain weather today. I love riding in this weather, compared to the dust and heat.

They're nearing top now. Sahm has been yoyoing off the pack, but is now unstuck. It's 360Life, 36ONE, Topeak, Merida, Bulls 2

 

 

So Stockli (6th) Verslys Craft (7th) & Centurion Vaude (10th) all well back. Three new spaces in top 10 on GC opening up #AbsaCapeEpic

 

 

Ominous skies above water point 3. Another epic stage today!

Don't think the climbs were long enough today for proper moves from the pros...would have been plenty long enough for me though :blush:

They're in the forest tracks. @Nedbank360life haven't come through yet - must be a mechanical.
