Bad luck again thrwarts Lakata’s hunt for elusive Absa Cape Epic

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his own – leaving him to start as as Outcast on Stage 5 tomorrow, the status given to an elite rider whose partner has withdrawn.

If Platt takes it this year and draws even with Sauser, I wonder If we might se him going for 6 next year..? If so, I think It might see Sauser making a comeback.. And Alban will be looking for his first, again..

 

Could be quite a race..

quite frankly,I hope Lakata oes get it next year. Platt Sauser domination is utterly boring especially when the winning margins are close to the length of a football match (yes exaggeration)
