Stander and Sauser win Epic stage 2
Burry Stander and Christoph Sauser have won their third consecutive stage in this years ABSA Cape Epic. They are showing incredible form and are definitely the team to beat. There is still a long way to go and anything can happen but baring bad luck I cant see any team beating them this year.

3 nights of moonlighting in the Karoo
EPIC seems to be the current buzzword on every mountainbiker’s lips this week. Either they’re looking at buying Specialized’s latest marathon bike, a trip to one of Cape Town’s favourite bikestores or possibly even considering USN’s energy junglejuice. 1200 lucky fish will be doing loops around the Western Cape on the whim of a certain Dr Evil, but instead I’ll use the word to describe my long weekend in the Waboomberge – ja boet, it was EPIC!
