Coetzenberg Stadium in Stellenbosch played host to a fitting final stage of the 20th Absa Cape Epic. The stage over 67km with 2000m of climbing saw dynamic, aggressive racing in all the categories and featured the coldest conditions of the week. The contrast to the heat of the week was fitting and indicative of what it takes to complete this race. Every rider who crossed the line at the Grand Finale after 617km and nearly 16 500m of climbing has a very special place in The Book of Legend. After a week of tactical racing, the undisputed powerhouses of 2024 however, was the team of Matthew Beers and Howard Grotts (Toyota-Specialized-NinetyOne) winning two stages to lay claim to the Yellow Leader Jerseys. In the Aramex Women’s Category Nicole Koller, and GHOST Factory Racing teammate Anne Terspstra maintained their stage-winning streak to make it eight on the trot (the Prologue and seven stages).
