LIVE | STAGE 6 | Absa Cape Epic

The Spear
For the first time in Absa Cape Epic history, outside of a time trial, an entire stage will be hosted by a single landowner. The Prologue and Stage 1 of the 2022 race hinted at the spectacular mountain biking within the vast Lourensford Wine Estate. 2023 delves into the details. Exploring trails both old and new. Taking on sculpted icons like the Lourensford Ultimate and rugged remains of South Africa’s first foray into trail building, like the Blue Gum Dam singletrack.
All 82 kilometres and 2 300 metres of climbing take place within the boundaries of the estate, and given the quality of the trails there is no compromising on the route, despite never crossing a fence. Rather, the riding is superb throughout, with the added benefit of being exceptionally spectator-friendly.
The course crosses over itself as it skirts on the estate dams, creating a unique opportunity for fans to watch the live broadcast in the chill zone, then cheer on their favourites as they pass close by the race village, before going back to the televisions for the second half of the stage and eventually welcoming the teams across the finish.

First year watching the race live, so no reference point for coverage. I'd just like to say that although the weather is causing some issues, coverage has been great all week and really appreciative of the efforts you have gone to, to provide it. Chapeau. 👏

Gutted for the germans, was really rooting for them. But this 5min gap seems very very hard to close, but lets see :)

NEVER fails. How about instead of bitching, your thank them for the hours and hours of daily coverage. Really!!

[@jonoharper4729]

​​​@@ebhkkc1💯👏👏 Well said. OP dude obviously doesn't realise that this race has set the standard and innovated the live coverage methods and techniques for XCM stage racing worldwide. From E-bikes following and streaming multiple GoPro cameras, to helicopters and drones, this Team works magic. The weather is however out of their hands.

[@phenofinder9145]

Join the race next year. You will get the play by play. You little picky brat!

[@silvercamp3303]

but always we don't see almost the first half of the race. it would be nice to watch the whole race.

[@deronlawrence6793]

[@nanovarela6714]

They can't switch tires, different brands of mtb bikes

[@josegalindo6575]
