With the ABSA Cape Epic over for another year, MTN Energade team riders Evans, Cordes and Speedy chat about their respective battles in this years race. For Kevin Evans and teammate Alban Lakata it was a matter of hanging in there over the last couple days to keep their 3rd place overall, while for Yolandé Speedy and teammate Paul Cordes it was sightly less eventful after overcoming a tough first stage to take the mixed team title yet again.

Jose Hermida and Rudi Van Houts (Multivan Merida 2) claim the win for the final stage in a fast paced race from Oak Valley to Lourensford. Following in second place were Emil Lindgren and Fabian Giger of team Rabobank-Giant Off Road. Christoph Sauser and Burry Stander of team Songo-Specialized by DCM came in third.

Despite the best efforts of the chasing teams, Karl Platt and Stefan Sahm maintain their 11 minute lead in the final stage, to win their 3rd Cape Epic as a team.
