On Stage 2 we see the peloton take on five categorised climbs and a lumpy profile will, to many, scream ‘breakaway day’; but in a short, early-season stage race like this - where every stage win is precious - the sprinters aren’t going to let the escape artists have their fun. Will the breakaway stay away or will the sprinters grab an early season win? ____________________ 🚴 With the 2022 road season promising to be one of the most exciting in recent memory, subscribe to GCN+ for live racing all year round, exclusive shows & cycling adventure films: https://gcn.eu/plus Download the GCN App 📲 for FREE & be part of the world's largest cycling community: https://gcn.eu/app Join thousands of other cycling fans in receiving our free weekly ✉️ newsletter roundup, including news, competitions and discounts: https://gcn.eu/3K7 Subscribe to GCN Racing: https://gcn.eu/gcn-racing Check out the GCN shop: #GCN #Cycling #BikeRacing Who was your favourite for the stage?

The Witzenberg Valley is undoubtedly one of mountain biking’s most challenging playgrounds, making Stage 2 a fitting holder for the title of Queen Stage. Sheets of sandstone provide the ultimate testing ground for man, woman and of course, machine. No quarter is given by Mother Nature in this fertile valley. For those strong enough not to require one, there are rewards around every kink in the trail. First though you have to reach the fabled playground. Crossing the Ceres Valley is the first step on the journey. Then comes the Old Gydo Pass. On the Bokkeveld plateau the dual track climb gives way to singletrack. Snaking ever upward into the Witzenberg Mountains the trail becomes increasingly technical. As it starts to weave its way between sandstone outcrops the Land Rover Technical Terrain begins. It is far from the only technical section of the day’s route however. In the valley below, nearly 20 kilometres of virtually uninterrupted singletrack awaits. Only the day’s final climb brings an end to the singletrack. From the summit Table Mountain is visible on clear days, as is the stage finish, at Saronsberg. A final white-knuckle singletrack descent, along an old wagon trail, then drops from the heights of the Witzenberg to the Tulbagh Valley far below. 🔔 Subscribe to our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/CapeepicMTB/ 🌐 Visit our website to access more content: https://www.cape-epic.com/ 📲 And Follow us on all our social networks: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/capeepic/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/capeepic Twitter: https://twitter.com/capeepic
Not since 2013 has Stage 1 of the Absa Cape Epic dipped below the 100-kilometre mark. It is definitely no play-day though. Hard work lies ahead to harvest the rewards of the exceptional Eselfontein trails. After a relatively easy start to the stage, the first singletrack climb is fortuitously wider than most, actually allowing for overtaking opportunities. Two more singletrack climbs follow, including the ascent of the Dead Man Walking climb to the race’s first Dimension Data Hotspot. The singletrack from the summit is the day’s Land Rover Technical Terrain, Pipeline. A final loop, from the central water complex on the Eselfontein farm, takes in more scintillating singletracks including some of the oldest purpose-built mountain biking trails in the country. 🔔 Subscribe to our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/CapeepicMTB/ 🌐 Visit our website to access more content: https://www.cape-epic.com/ 📲 And Follow us on all our social networks: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/capeepic/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/capeepic Twitter: https://twitter.com/capeepic
Back in its traditional, season-ending slot after a rare summer edition, Il Lombardia will draw a dramatic close to the WorldTour calendar this Saturday and see the likes of Tadej Pogačar, Primož Roglič, Remco Evenepoel and Vincenzo Nibali going toe-to-toe for the final Monument of the year.
