Absa Cape Epic

[Press Release] Yesterday the Prologue of the legendary Absa Cape Epic started for the first time at the University of Cape Town. 1200 riders took on the challenge on the slopes of Table Mountain for day one.
Swiss riders Fabian Giger and Martin Gujan (Novus OMX Pro) sprung something of a surprise as they swept into the yellow zebra jersey in Sunday’s Absa Cape Epic Prologue.
Most of the big guns kept their powder dry on a day that favoured cross country specialists, but four-times winners Karl Platt and Christoph Sauser were second and third with their teammates.
