Thomo Posted February 28, 2022 Share If they gel, they'll be hard to beat in that category. 👌 DIPSLICK, TheoG and Fred van Vlaanderen 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheoG Posted February 28, 2022 Share I always liked Sauser, would be nice to see them mixing it up with the other contenders. Looks like this year is going to be a big fight for the win. Sid the Sloth 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickGM Posted February 28, 2022 Share These guys put the "ry" in "rivalry". The person who wrote the title just needs to follow suit now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably different bike brands like Lill and Strauss. #BullSpez i dont think he owns Bulls but you probably right about him riding a Bulls. He seems integral to the brand. Not to derail the topic but why doesnt Bulls sell in SA considering its success and history in the Epic. Even the camera bikes are Bulls bikes. Seems like Bulls is making such an investment in the Race but not bothered with selling their bikes here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danger Dassie Posted March 1, 2022 Share Platt on a Bulls and Sauser on a Specialized. Songo.info will be a beneficiary. Nothing unusual, many a team pairing past and present with different bike sponsors. Like Lill and Strauss, Cannondale and Giant. TheoG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cape Epic has a massive fan base in Germany. Besides, South Africa has an unbelievably brand saturated market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
