Stage 2 was covered over the distance of 97 km, the longest stage of the Absa Cape Epic 2024. The day began with a climb along the Wagon Trail in the Wizenberg Valley, famous for its technical trails. Ouplaas, Wakkerstroon, Slagboom and Welgemeen provided singletrack that required absolute concentration.

[email protected] I am a fan of everything that has 2 wheels: at a young age I practiced road and track cycling (Italian Allievi champion). At the age of 18 I passed into the cross country competing at national/international level as an Under23. Past Elite, I made the choice to take things more lightly from a training point of view, and my love for gravity disciplines was born, training me as an FCI MTB instructor and guide. Now I have made passion my profession by managing 2 MTB centers on the island of Elba (Bike Center Elba and 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').
