LIVE | STAGE 2 | 2024 Absa Cape Epic

Withstand the UNTAMED

Withstanding the untamed and unrelenting challenges presented by the Witzenberg Valley requires endurance and skill. Stage 2 begins with an ascent from Absa Cape Epics of yore, climbing the waggon trail into the Wizenberg Valley. Famed for its relentlessly technical trails the valley itself might not feature an imposing amount of climbing, but do not be fooled by the profile. Ouplaas, Wakkerstroon, Slagboom and Welgemeen all provide singletracks which will demand absolute focus, as well as constant shifts in weight.

The rocky trails deny momentum and reintroduce the concept of inertia to all but the most skilful. Ascending back out the valley is no easy feat either, nor is the Wagon Trail descent back to succour at Saronsberg. Withstanding Stage 2 will require mental as well as physical fortitude.

Did no one think the overlap might happen? Are there no alternative trails? It's very unfair to the later starters.

Great coverage improving every day I love the details and all he add-ons.
Seems the guys shooting video like drone etc are thinking there'll be time for edits especially shadows...there ain't! They need to push them while shooting.

Dieses Jahr lässt die Bildqualität echt zu wünschen übrig

The elevator music almost ruins the whole show. It's too loud and repetitive in my humble opinion and detracts from the commentary. Please consider removing it from one show and see if anyone else feels the same way.😊

I find the overlap very unfair to the slower riders who had to wait for all the top teams to come down. They might not make the cut off and then thier epic is over. All that preparation and very expensive entry fee. First time i have seen poor planning on the cape epic

[suzanne]

People in chat really do complain too much... maybe if they don't like this coverage they should go watch it people need to be more grateful that they even get to watch this

La trasmisión es muy mala, se corta, se paraliza. Muy desagradable la trasmisión de la Cape Epic
