So many faces tried after the Queen Stage at the Cape Epic: 102km for a difference in altitude of 2450m, with initial bad weather, put all the athletes to the test. And, as expected, some good things happened in the standings with the Scott Sram Racing Team losing the jersey to the Leatt Orbea Speed ​​Company.

Let's go and see a few shots that reveal the real effort of these stages, that effort that any Biker (with a capital B) has experienced at least once.

Busy day today, unfortunately I crashed hitting my ribs. This pain accompanied me throughout the race, gritting our teeth we reached the finish line even despite the difficult weather conditions, characterized by heavy rain. It's a tough but beautiful race. Thanks to Scott and Kurt Gross for great help and support. Thanks also to my partner Samuele Porro – Vincenzo Nibali

Nibali is racing with Samuele Porro (Wilier Pirelli) under Team Q36.5: being in 2 different teams, Samuele and Vincenzo have given themselves the name of "Italian Friends" and with this name they are in the standings. Nibali is racing at the South African mountain bike race with Q36.5 products, such as shorts Doctor Clima Bib Shorts.

famac@famac.ind.br I am passionate about everything that has 2 wheels: in my youth I practiced competitive cycling on the road and on the track with good results. At the age of 18 I moved to cross country competing at national/international level as U23. Once I passed Elite, I made the choice to take things easier from the training point of view, and that's how my love for gravity disciplines was born, training as an FCI MTB instructor and guide. Now I have made my passion my profession by managing 3 MTB centers on the island of Elba (Elba MTB), creating the FANTAmtb and telling in an ironic but professional way, everything that revolves around MTB thanks to 365mountainbike and 365TV (YouTube 'PULITI dentro BIKER fuori').
