Back-to-back victories for men's leaders Burry Stander and Christoph Sauser and female duo Eva Lechner and Nathalie Schneitter
Posted: 28 March 2011
by George Scott
Burry Stander and Christoph Sauser extended their Cape Epic lead by registering a second consecutive victory in South Africa.
The 36ONE Songo Specialized duo, who won Sunday's prologue, clocked 3:52.13.9 hours on the 89km stage to sit at the top on the standings on 4:58.17.3 overall.
Urs Huber and Konny Looser (Stöckli Pr) finished second on the stage to lie second overall on 4:58.17.3, while Tim Böhme and Thomas Dietsch (Bulls 2) completed the stage podium to complete the top three on 4:59.49.4 overall.
Last year's winners Karl Platt and Stefan Sahm, in search of a fourth title, are fifth overall, with Sauser and Stander leading them by 5 minutes, 43 seconds.
"We rode well today, had good legs and felt comfortable," said Stander. "It wasn’t a day for tactics, just really tough up and down, up and down.
"Our full suspension bikes definitely worked – we could see the other guys were all over the place. We rode at our pace, but had problems with a chain and also a flat near the end, but went full force after that again."
But not all riders returned unscathed, with Kevin Evans (360LIFE), among the pre-race favourites, forced to retire with a broken collarbone.
"I’m really sorry about what happened to Kevin," said Stander. "The course was hard and you could lose this race on the downhills as well as your career. We took it steady and luckily didn’t have any big problems."
Evans' team-mate Christoph Sauser added: "I had a crash early on one of the downhill sections. One needed to be conservative in the downhills today. I prefer to go full out and not ride on my brakes too much, but you need to bear the next day in mind.
"I’m also feeling very sorry for Kevin – it’s the worst thing that can happen to you. This is the most important race of the year and for this to happen on the second day is really bad luck."
Meanwhile, Eva Lechner and Nathalie Schneitter (Colnago Arreghini Südtirol) also claimed back-to-back victories, finishing stage one in 5:11.16.6 to lead the women's race on 6:31.36.7.
Sally Bigham and Karien Van Jaarsveld (USN) are second on 6:39.49.1 overall, while Hanlie Booyens and Ischen Stopforth's (Absa aBreast) overall time of 6:46.48 is good enough for third.
"I had to work really hard today," said Schneitter. "I had cramps in my legs. I guess everyone has a bad day and today was mine.
"I even crashed in a sandy corner - my own fault – because I wasn’t concentrating. We tried to drink a lot from the beginning as we're not accustomed to this heat."
Stage two tackles a 104km loop in Tulbagh, with 2,300m of climbing. Head to www.cape-epic.com for live rider tracking and full results.

Cape Epic
Stage 2: Villiersdorp - Villiersdorp 110km
Hat-trick for Sauser and Stander in Absa Cape Epic
By BikeRadar
Women's category leaders and stage winners Sharon Laws and Hannalie Booyens of Team Absa Ladies
Stage 2 runners-up Stefan Sahm and Karl Platt
Masters winners Bartu Boucher and Doug Brown
Burry Stander and Christoph Sauser proved their world-class stature by winning their third consecutive stage of this year’s Absa Cape Epic.
The Songo.info team crossed the finish line of stage 2 in 03:53:48, 2 minutes and 20 seconds ahead of Karl Platt and Stefan Sahm (Bulls).
With an overall time advantage of 6min 35sec after the prologue and first 2 stages, the duo team will wear the yellow jersey for stage 3 today.
For the second stage of the Absa Cape Epic, riders followed a 110km route with 1,527m of climbing from Villiersdorp to Worcester, before heading back via Robertson, with the Trek-Brentjens team leading until half way.
Men’s category
Sauser and Stander (Songo.info) were the first to cross the finish line of Stage 2 in a time of 03:53:48 (overall time 09:24:58). Germans Karl Platt and Stefan Sahm (Bulls) finished in second place in a time of 03:56:08, which also secured them second place overall (09:31:23). In third place were Emil Lindgren of Sweden and Andreas Kugler of Switzerland (Felt Factory 2) in a time of 03:56:09, finishing in 5th place overall (09:42:19).
Attackers Bart Brentjens and Chris Jongewaard (Trek-Brentjens) eventually finished in 5th place (03:58:46), but secured the third overall position (09:36:00). The South African team Kevin Evans and David George (MTN Energade) finished in fourth place in 03:56:12, and also fourth overall (09:36:25).
Brentjens and Jongewaard again attacked from the start of the stage and had a 5-minute lead at one of the main obstacles of the day – a 3km technical 8 percent climb. By the time they reached the bottom on the other side, the Songo.info and Bulls team had caught up with them. The Bulls team struggled with punctures all day and had to repair tyres at least 5 times.
Sauser said: “Yesterday was a very tough stage and we were both tired. Today we felt good and on the last climb we really went for it. We also made up some time on the flat sections whenever we could.”
Stander had a flat tyre, but after fixing it the duo hit the gas and caught up with Trek-Brentjens again, riding hard whenever conditions allowed. Sauser said: “I know how difficult it is mentally to have two teams in front and you have to ride hard to catch up.”
The terrain was extremely technical and at times even the pros had to get off and carry their bikes. “It’s not that we wouldn’t be able to ride it, but in terms of race tactics, walking is sometimes quicker," said Sauser.
"You also don’t run the risk of injuring yourself or damaging your equipment. Our focus is to win overall – over the next days we won’t focus so much on winning the stages, but rather on maintaining our overall lead.”
Stage 2 runners-up stefan sahm and karl platt:
Stander added: “On arrival I thought I was in worse shape than last year, but in fact I’m in much better form. I feel better every day and I’m mentally much stronger. We don’t discuss race tactics. Christoph is very experienced so I do what he says and so far listening to him has always paid off.”
Songo.info’s tactics were to push as hard as possible on both the climbs and descents, sometimes making up a minute or more to increase their lead.
Many of the other participants also struggled with flat tyres caused by thorns. Normally riders use sealing liquids (slime) to temporarily repair the damage, but the holes were too big and it took time to fix.
Stefan Sahm of the Bulls said: “This is what makes it really hard. Not only were the other teams pushing, but we constantly had flat tyres. If you have a gap of 200m in such terrain, it takes you up to 10 or 15 minutes to catch up, and that takes a lot of energy out of you. Nearer the end we were both feeling quite tired, but Karl and I have an excellent sprinting routine and lots of experience, so we could win the sprint finish.”
The Bulls, Felt Factory 2 and MTN Energade teams caused quite a stir as they sprinted against each other to the finish line.
Sahm said: “With regards to the 6-minute lead that Christoph and Burry have – they are in such incredible shape – unless they have a major breakdown or injury, I don’t think that the overall result will change. It’s going to be very difficult to catch them, but we’ll try our best every single day.”
Women's category
The first women to complete stage 2 were Hanlie Booyens and Sharon Laws, finishing in 05:11:17, also keeping them in the overall lead (12:46:17). They were followed by Robyn Adendorff and Sarah van Heerden (WSP – Jeep Girls) in a time of 06:01:41, placing them second overall (14:53:12). The Tread Magazine Ladies, Nolene Saunders and Sarah Wielopolska, had their first podium finish in a time of 06:10:47, placing them in third position for this stage and overall.
Booyens said: “It was a great ride today. We’ve actually stopped thinking about the competitive side of the race – the riding is tough enough. You just hope that you arrive in one piece, so we’re not looking at what the other teams are doing. We want to finish every stage well and ride at our own pace.”
Laws added: “We’ll see over the next few days how we compare with the teams we’re currently riding with to monitor whether we are getting stronger or weaker.”

Mixed category
Team Adidas Big Tree, Nico Pfitzenmaier and Alison Sydor, followed in Songo.info’s footsteps by winning the green leader jersey in the mixed category for the third day in a row. They finished in a time of 04:23:10 putting them in the overall lead (10:43:40).
They were followed by Marcel Bartholet and Esther Süss (Wheeler-IXS Pro) in a time of 04:38:20 (second overall – 11:16:08), with Paul Cordes and Yolande Speedy (IMC/Momentum/GT Activeworx) in third place (04:39:40). They are also third overall (11:22:51)
Pfitzenmaier said: “We were riding very carefully today. There were so many crashes on the first section of singletrack due to all the dust. One couldn’t always see the holes and ditches – this even affected the pro riders.
"We didn’t want to risk anything and tried to stay with the leaders, as they are more experienced and it therefore makes it safer. Despite this, Alison was pushed into the bushes by other riders and I didn’t notice. I thought she was riding ahead of me and some riders even confirmed it. I was hitting the gas and ended up in front with the leaders only to realise that she was nowhere to be found. I then waited for her.
"I really enjoy riding with her – there was one super-steep climb where everyone got off, even me, and Alison stayed on her bike. I really take my hat off to her and her capabilities.”
Sydor added: “I was pushed into the bushes and because I saw some bad crashes ahead and behind me in the men’s, I tried to stay out of trouble and was working my way through the thicket rather than with these guys.
"The terrain was unforgiving, but suited us very well. Some sections were loose and very technical and both Nico and I know how to ride it. We were still riding conservatively though and had no problems, not even a flat.”
Pfitzenmaier and Sydor are in 14th position overall, having moved up 5 positions since yesterday, and are leading their category by 32 min 28 sec.
Masters category
The Absa Masters, Doug Brown and Barti Bucher, again took top honours in stage 2 (04:19:51), with an overall masters lead time of 10:32:43. They were followed by Shan Wilson and Andrew McLean (Cycle Lab Toyota) who finished the stage in 04:25:05 (overall time 10:59:08). In third place were Corrie Muller and Robert Sim (Van Loveren / SAND) in 4:48:04 (overall 11:56:08). Brown and Bucher now lead their category by 26 min 25 sec.

Cape Epic: stage three report
Battle in the stage race hots up. Sauser and Stander maintain overall lead
Posted: 31 March 2011
by David Arthur
Racing, as with the heat, has been hotting up with three stages now completed
Following their second consecutive victory in the Absa Cape Epic, Burry Stander and Christoph Sauser were outdown by the German pairing of Hannes Genze and Jochen Kaess on stage three, but Stander and Sauser maintained their advantage to retain the overall lead.
The German team of Hannes Genze and Jochen Kaess (Multivan Merida Biking) beat the South African/Swiss team of Burry Stander and Christoph Sauser (36ONE Songo Specialized) in a sprint finish by 2.8 seconds, securing their first stage win in this year's Absa Cape Epic. Stander and Sauser still lead overall by 6 minutes and 15 seconds, with three times winners Karl Platt and Stefan Sahm (Bulls team) in fourth place overall and 8 minutes and 32 seconds behind the leaders.
With an overall time of 14 hours, 40 minutes and 29,3 seconds, the 36ONE Songo Specialized team will wear the yellow leader jersey for stage 4.
With the fast roads out of Tulbagh, riders covered 13km before the first climb. It was steep at times and very loose, requiring hard bursts of effort to gain momentum over the rockiest parts. After the 4km climb, riders arrived at a plateau with a beautiful valley nestled between spectacular mountains that resemble the pictures found on the covers of fantasy novels.
There was little time to look around during the race though, the deeply rutted descent tested rider and equipment alike. After smooth farm roads and more rocky tracks, tyres were put to the test, with devil thorns lying in wait. A long drag upwards on a rough path lead to a remote hut at the foot of the cliff face of the bare rock of the mountainside. This area is a geologist¡'s paradise. After the final water point, Absa Cape Epic veterans experienced déjà vu, with a similar run into the race village through some winding single-track.
Quotes from the racersSays Burry Stander (team 36ONE Songo Specialized): "We're happy with our overall result and weren't fighting for stage win. We're ahead of the Bulls overall. We stayed with the Multivan Merida Biking team and they broke away in the last 2 km. We let them know if you want to win a stage, you have to earn it.
"This stage was very hard. I've never experienced something so tough. It was 5 hours of pain and at one point I couldn't feel my hands or feet. There were rocks everywhere and the first 50km felt like we¡'ll be riding all day. Eventually we hit the tar. I take my hat off to anyone who finishes this stage!"
Bart Brentjens of the Netherlands, the 2005 winner of the Absa Cape Epic, two times Olympic medallist and former World Champion and World Cup winner, finished in third place today with his team mate Jeroen Boelen. He says: "We attacked before water point 2, but we lost time as we took a wrong turn. We rode at a good speed and worked really hard. It was a long stage. This is my 6th Absa Cape Epic, so I know the race, but Jeroen is a roadie and has never done the Cape Epic before. He's a new member of our team but I'm very happy with his performance. He's learning a lot - fast. Every day we plan for the next day and I really hope we can make it to the finish."
Jose Hermida of the Multivan Merida Biking team says he is thrilled to keep one of their teams in front. "I'm really tired today, but we're fighting for our team in the race. I'm so pleased they won today. We enjoy helping where we can, but they still need to win it by themselves. I've had a headache for most of the day and it was really hard out there. But as they say, it takes many days to get to Paris."
Women's raceThe UK's Sally Bigham and Karien Van Jaarsveld (team USN) were in the Leader jersey out of Tulbagh this morning and proved their competence by also winning stage 3 in a time of 6:43.35,9 (overall 19:25.14,6).
They were followed by Hanlie Booyens and Ischen Stopforth of Absa aBreast in 6:48.40,6 (overall 19:47.21,1) with their first podium finish, ahead of Naomi Hansen and Jodie Willett of adidas who finished third in 6:55.45,3 (overall 20:22.00,7). Lechner and Schneitter lead by 22 minutes and 6 seconds.
Yesterday's leading team Eva Lechner and Nathalie Schneitter (team Colnago Arreghini Sdtirol) received a time penalty of one hour. They were penalised for breaking rule 23.1 and 23.4 of the Absa Cape Epic. Riders are not allowed any outside assistance with regards to spares, equipment and nutrition.
Sally Bigham said of the position change: "I don't know how to feel about having the Leader jersey because I'm not sure how it happened. I'd want to be in the Leader jersey because we're the strongest team, but I also firmly believe in sticking to rules.
"If it's true that they didn't stop at the water points, they (Eva Lechner and Nathalie Schneitter) saved a lot of time because it takes us at least 2 minutes at each water point, which adds up to six minutes per day in total. Having won today was really nice though and I'm really pleased. It was a tough stage and lived up to the Absa Cape Epic's reputation. It definitely is the hardest race I've ever done and I¡'ve done quite a lot. We're halfway and I look forward to starting later tomorrow."

Cape Epic: stage four report
Sauser and Stander extend lead on 32km time trial stage
Posted: 1 April 2011
by David Arthur
Cape Epic 2011 stage 4
Burry Stander and his team-mate confirm their lead in the race today
It is a first for the Absa Cape Epic: two time trials in the 2011 race, the first was a 32km route through the foothills of Brandwacht.
As in 2010, riders traversed the western side of Worcester in this semi-desert environment. Added to last year's route was an extra 5km loop along dual tracks past the local golf course. The route data showed 860m of climbing which may not seem like a lot, but over such a short distance, it still required a hard effort.
As usual, the top teams left at 1 minute intervals, racing only against the clock, some looking for a stage win and others to consolidate. Riders needed to hold back on this stage and save themselves for the next half of the Cape Epic saga.
Christoph Sauser and Burry Stander extend leads
Christoph Sauser and Burry Stander maintain their overall lead with a time of 15:44.14,9. In second position overall are Hannes Genze and Jochen Käss of Multivan Merida Biking in 15:52.03,3, followed by the Bulls team of Karl Platt and Stefan Sahm in 15:55.53,8.
In fourth place overall are the Stöckli Pro team of Urs Huber and Konny Looser who finished in fifth place today (16:11.01,0), with Versluys-Evenza’s Nicolas Vermeulen and Kevin van Hoovels in fifth place overall (16:13.29,8). They finished in 8th place today.
Says Burry Stander of 36ONE Songo Specialized: “This is the first day in this year’s Absa Cape Epic that I really felt good and had good legs. I didn’t need to rely on Christoph and could finally push him as he has done with me the last couple of days, putting me through the paces. It’s also nice that we a have a bit more time today to recover ahead of the last two long stages. We’ve extended our lead but it’s hard to say what’ll happen in the next three days.
"We’re doing what we need to every day and trying to ride conservatively as well as increase our lead. I just hope we have Lady Luck on our side.” Christoph Sauser adds: “I’ve learnt that it’s never good for me to think I’m going to have a nice racing day. We caught up with Genze and Käss in the big downhill, rode together for a bit and in the next uphill pulled away. It’s always a cool feeling catching the guys in front. If it’s just down to pedalling, we stand a good chance to stay in front, but this race is not like an office job and an 8 minute lead is not a lot.”
Lechner and Schneitter wins Ladies for the fourth time
Eva Lechner and Nathalie Schneitter (team Colnago Arreghini Südtirol) won the Ladies Category for the fourth time, finishing in 1:27.16,3 (overall 22:10.54,7), ahead of Sally Bigham and Karien Van Jaarsveld (team USN) in a time of 1:37.04,1 (overall 21:02.18,7). In third place were Naomi Hansen and Jodie Willett of adidas in 1:37.54,8 (overall 21:59.55,5) with Hanlie Booyens and Ischen Stopforth of team Absa aBreast in fourth (1:40.41,3; overall 21:28.02,4). Bigham and Van Jaarsveld lead this category by 25 minutes and 43 seconds.
Says Nathalie Schneitter of Switzerland (team Colnago Arreghini Südtirol): “The race was still quite hard today and in the nice single-track we gave it our all. We had excellent team work today and were both feeling strong.” Eva Lechner adds: “We’re really happy with the race. Nathalie worked hard in the middle section of the race and I at the beginning and end. We finished in good time and look forward to the last three days of the race.”
Karien van Jaarsveld (USN) comments that they had a fun race. “Today was my kind of riding. It was pretty steep, but conditions were nice. We still have a long way to go – tomorrow’s a monster of a day - so we'll just ride safely and conservatively to get to the finish.” Bigham adds: “We really had good fun today. It was perfect to have a short course in the middle of the race to recover a bit. We’ll enjoy some recovery time and get ready for tomorrow.”
Tracy Moseley takes on the Epic
Current Downhill Mountain Biking World Champion Tracy Moseley from the United Kingdom says: “today was fun and of course the rain helped a bit. It’s nice to have some time to rest as it looks as if the next two days will be sheer hell. The Absa Cape Epic is way bigger than I expected – it’s massive. Yesterday was pretty rough, but I enjoyed today. Hopefully I’ll survive the next two days and make it to the finish line at Lourensford.”
Stage 5: Worcester to Oak Valley (143km; 2350m of climbing)
It's a real classic Absa Cape Epic day out, the longest stage in years. With fast open roads, marked by 3 obstacles along the way, riders are advised to save their strength and cooperate with other teams to form larger groups, to take turns at the front to lighten the load.
The first climb of the day will be a shock to the system, not only from the gradient but also the tracks surface. In parts, the climb is rideable, barely, and only the fittest and best bike handlers are likely to make it up without dabbing a foot. As with everything, what goes up must come down, and those with full suspension bikes will be grateful for their weapon of choice.
More open roads will help get some kilometres under the belt before the radio mast comes into view. Down the other side of this deceptive climb is a fast chute into farmlands and waiting for riders is a set of rolling hills that¡¯ll deaden the legs of even the most hardened campaigner. At the 100km mark, riders reach the foot of the exquisite Groenlandberg, the grand old legend inviting us back in 2011 thanks to Cape Nature Conservation.
The 15% gradient on the concrete path should be placed conservatively, with the remainder of the climb taking most riders well over an hour to complete. The north-facing slope will make for a challenging ascent on a hot afternoon but the rocky downhill sections leads to the famed Oak Valley single-track to make it all worth it.
