Cape Epic rider combinations for 2014

[Nats mtb]

Phil and Nino....that will be a serious combination!! So if Scott factory racing is teaming up local talent and international talent ...guess specialised will do the same!! 2014 is going to be a killer year.

I recon Cherise and Ariane will ride together and Erik and Nico Bell

 

I think Ariane will ride with the Swiss girl she rode pioneer with

Anika Langfaart?

 

[Mackie]

Sauser owns a house in Stellenbosch and spends 6 months of the year in SA.

Erik Kleinhanse been rolling on a Spez for the last 14 months already.

Niño and Buys will be a great combination, but will never be a threat to the podium.

Anika Langfaart?

 

That's what I think. Reckon they will go for it especially with the large prize money for that cat.

 

Cherise will probably ride with a member of Burry's family in his memory

Shes also part of team RECM so I'm not sure about this. I wonder if Lourens Luus will do the epic in 2014. If Anika and Ariane rides together and Erik and Nico then maybe a new mixed team of Cherise and Lourens will compete in the mixed?

That would make sense

Ariane will ride with Annika Langvad. Are you guys sure about Buys & Schurter? I'm not convinced.

 

Platt is riding with Huber

Boehme & Stiebjahn

Fluckiger & Naef

[PhilipV]

check if Suzy goes for a skelm ride on private land again. like the incident at lourensford a couple of years back.

I hope Fumic and Fontana teams up again.

Does this mean Sam is not riding?

[scuzzy]

I've been looking around trying to see who will partner Sauser in the Epic, I take it he will be riding.

 

Couldn't find anything apart from an interview with Kulhavy where he said he wil not race it this year.

 

Same could be asked for Kevin Evans, wonder if he will team up with Stewart?

 

Does anybody know yet?

[stringbean]

Pretty sure its Rabon,he's been part of specialized mtb team since november last year after he was struggling to get a contract with Omega.Multiple Czech TT champ.Should be interesting.

[Brian Fantana]

I hear that Alban Lakata ruptured his achilles tendon in a skiing accident. I hope he will recover in time, because he can be a serious podium contender as well.

I'm not sure if Kevin will be riding this year as his main goal is Worlds in April if I am not mistaken.

 

edit, maybe not April as I cannot find any info regarding XCM in ZA for 2014 unless it isn't worlds. But if you'd like to know, UCI XCM World Champs will be hosted in Austria.
