South African mountain biking is currently riding on a high with the likes of Burry Stander (MR Price Specialized), Kevin Evans (MTN Energade) and the fresh prince of big air Greg Minnaar consistently performing on both the local and international scene.

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.

The final day of the taxing 2010 Absa Cape Epic presented by adidas saw riders cover 65km and 1 640m of climbing, cycling from Oak Valley to their final destination at the Lourensford Wine Estate. Multivan Merida’s José Hermida and Rudi van Houts were first to cross the finish line in the final stage of this year’s Absa Cape Epic with the Bulls Team of Karl Platt and Stefan Sahm taking the overall victory.
