Tour de France legends to ride in Absa Cape Epic

Fitness yes but The cape epic also requires some skill at speed if you want to stay in A good position.

 Evans was a 2 time MTB world cup winner. Retired and past their pro days - yes, but you can't doubt the pedigree of these guys. I definitely think they'll be contending the Masters

They also have upward of 4 months to train , so should they choose to , they could be VERY competitive .

All jokes and facts about them being dicks aside 

 

 

Does anyone here actually think they will be challenging any high profile riders ?

nope...they're retired racers and probably don't train anything like before, don't expect them to be on the podium in the masters category.

Mm

 

 

Cuddles has been riding a lot of fun rides and plays out on the dirt.. so I am sure he still has a high fitness level, Hincapie as the article state has never ridden competitively on the dirt, but rides on the dirt. How fit he is is anyone's guess.. but make no mistakes these guys know how to pedal a bike and being ex pro's sure have a competitive nature.

Must say I'm surprised that Cuddles would team up with Big George in light of the American's doping history with the Blue Train

They rode together at BMC for a while.. Probably became good friends.
