Headshot Posted March 26, 2019 Posted March 26, 2019 When will we see some stats from this years Epic, i.e: 1. Bikes Brands by numbers2. Any HD/Fatbike or SS3. Tyre Brands & size - I am curious about this one4. Sram vs Shimano5. etc.I saw one guy on a Scott Scale 26er with 580mm bars..
The Bull Shark Posted March 26, 2019 Posted March 26, 2019 Rookie error. Which makes the whole thing even worse as they are professional cyclists. I would love to hear their excuse to their team manager and sponsors.

Shebeen Posted March 26, 2019 Posted March 26, 2019 useless info time: if you don't win the epic on your first attempt, give up. 17 people have now won the Men's category since the race started in 2004.11 of these guys won it on their first go at the race. Platt Heymans Brentjens Paullisen Bundi Sahm Kulhavy Hynek Stirneman Grotts Forster 2nd time was good enough for these okesSauser/Fuglsang3rd time luckyShurter/Mennen4th is a charm forHuber/Stander Got to feel for Alban Lakatahe has now finished 10, and never won it. in terms of countriesGermany - 10Switzerland - 10Czech Republic - 4Belgium -2South africa - 2Holland,nam, US, denmark - 1 each

Milosh Posted March 26, 2019 Posted March 26, 2019 Which makes the whole thing even worse as they are professional cyclists. I would love to hear their excuse to their team manager and sponsors. The sponsor has got endless mileage out of it, so not all bad ;-)
Danger Dassie Posted March 26, 2019 Posted March 26, 2019 Which makes the whole thing even worse as they are professional cyclists. I would love to hear their excuse to their team manager and sponsors.Have worked with them previously, they're good guys, happens to the best of us.Pretty sure the team owner Samuele and the team will be teasing them about it more than anything. Besides, some of the team shared the post anyways.

Andrew Steer Posted March 26, 2019 Posted March 26, 2019 Talking of finish line crashes, I remember the ladies winners in one of the earlier editions also wiping each other out on the finish... one of them dislocated their shoulder if I recall?
Andrew Steer Posted March 26, 2019 Posted March 26, 2019 Most impressive ride of the Cape Epic? Candice Lill for me... seriously exceptional to be so close to overall winners of that pedigree!Must say I never quite pictured her as being quite that good, but she's definitely risen to the occasion. Hopefully she can continue the progression up
Tankman Posted March 27, 2019 Posted March 27, 2019 Another pair did that just before the line on the last day.One of the Last Lions, I think.What a terrible way to finish the Epic! Yup, I just missed that but saw them hitting the deck!That looked like a broken collar bone the way it way standing out when he walked passed me.
