Nesta terça-feira (21), aconteceu a segunda etapa da Absa Cape Epic. A dupla do brasileiro Henrique Avancini e Manuel Fumic (Cannondale Factory Racing XC) conquistou a terceira colocação, mantendo-se na liderança da classificação geral da competição.

Os vencedores desta fase foram Jaroslav Kulhavy e Cristoph Sauser (Investec-Songo-Specialized), que conquistaram sua primeira etapa nesta edição da competição, consolidada após um emocionante sprint final. A dupla seguinte, que ficou com a segunda colocação na etapa e também é a segunda colocada no ranking geral, foi a do campeão olímpico Nino Schurter e Matthias Stirnemann (SCOTT-SRAM MTB Racing).

A rota dessa segunda etapa foi encurtada de 102km para 62km, após dois dias de condições climáticas extremas. Ao invés dos ciclistas pedalarem até Elandskloof próximo à Greyton, eles finalizaram a etapa onde seria o segundo ponto de água do percurso original, no Botanical Gardens, em Caledon.

A curta distância, no entanto, não foi representativa para a elite masculina, pois os atletas aumentaram o ritmo sobre o que essencialmente tornou-se um longo percurso de cross-country.

Desde o começo, o ritmo foi veloz e algumas equipes vislumbravam a possibilidade de vencer uma etapa na competição que teve 40km subtraídos de seu percurso.
