Cape Epic Stage 7 Report
Stage 7 of the Cape Epic was won by the in form Fluckinger brothers of Trek World Racing followed closely by Team Bulls who did an outstanding job of defending their yellow jerseys and increasing their lead by another 3 minutes. With 10km to go it was almost sure that Vogel and Schurter of Scott/Swisspower would have won their first stage but Nino Schurter suddenly started suffering from the immense effort that they had put in and were passed by the chasing teams.
Jose Hermida and Rudi van Houts of Multivan Merida claimed thier first podium for the race in third followed by Christoph and Burryof Songo.info at 3min 30sec back. Christoph was unfortunate to pick up a stomach virus similiar to that of Burry’s earlier in the week and had to suffer through the stage. MTN were also in difficulty for most of the stage and Songo.info were able to increase thier gap to third place.
Tomorrows final stage will most certaily not be a procession with many of the top teams still under pressure for a stage win. It is unlikely that the overall classification will change much but action is guaranteedover the final 63km of this years ABSA Cape Epic.
