Yesterday the second stage of the Absa CAPE EPIC 2014 took place. Again in the area around Arabella Wines near Robertson. 101 kilometres in distance and 1.550 climbing promised to be a little bit less heavy than the first stage, but due to heavy rain falls the single trails were soaked and very difficult to ride!
Stage 2/7 – Results:
1st place: Topeak-Ergon Racing – 8-1 Robert Mennen (GER) / 8-2 Kristian Hynek (CZE) 2nd place: Bulls1 – 2-1 Karl Platt (GER) / 2-2 Urs Huber (GER) 3rd place: Bulls 2 – 4-1 Tim Boehme (GER) / 4-2 Simon Stiebjahn (GER)
