HIGHLIGHTS | STAGE 4 | 2024 Absa Cape Epic

With temperatures soaring in the Boland all week long, race organisers enacted the official Extreme Weather Protocol, reducing the initial 88km Stage 4 to 73km. Despite this, the Queen Stage still presented a challenging course with four arduous climbs and the tricky, yet spectacularly beautiful Cliffhanger switchback descent near the end.
Although the changes provided some welcome relief, the stage remained an intense test of physical and mental endurance. So much so that UCI Marathon World Champ, Mona Mitterwallner of Cannondale Factory Racing, called it ‘one of the hardest stages’ of her life.

You wouldn't catch me on Cliff Hanger, ever! Looks scary AF. I'm impressed by the media bikes, they match the pros so well, albeit with some electric assistance.
