bigcheeze Posted March 7, 2008 Posted March 7, 2008 Good morning all. It's heating up in Stellenbosch on Day 4 of the MTN Giro del Capo. DavidB is not in today so I'll do my best to give you regular updates.
bigcheeze Posted March 7, 2008 Author Posted March 7, 2008 The race started at 09h30 and the first Points Prime results are through: Madsen, Power & Morkov. Our contact on the route is currently out of reach but I'll send feedback as soon as I know.

Sean Badenhorst Posted March 7, 2008 Posted March 7, 2008 Apparently there will only be 4 laps of Hellshoogte and not 5 as planned. Bet the climbers are livid!
