Claudio Posted October 22, 2013 Share Rain, mud and wind grabbed the full attention of the riders on Stage 1 of the 2013 Bridge Cape Pioneer Trek international mountain bike stage race in South Africa on Monday, but it was Brandon Stewart and Konny Looser of the FedGroup Itec team that grabbed the spotlight when they won the stage and took the overall lead.

Gen Posted October 22, 2013 Share Crazy conditions, I watched the highlights on Supersport last night.. getting through that stage must have been tough as nails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaco-fiets Posted October 22, 2013 Share I am happy for Brandon. He probably needs a good result. Don't see Buys and co recovering from a 10min deficit. At this stage smart money will have to be on the Kleynhans/Woolcock Jakkals. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McD23 Posted October 22, 2013 Share XX1 did not work well in the mud for me, although in its defence, that mud was insane and all components took strain!Yesterday was toughest day I had on mtb...or so I thought until my rear derailleur hanger snapped with 20km to go today...Swartberg Pass on a 32 / 11 after 70km I decided was a lot tougher than abit of mud!!
