After 8 grueling days, 707km of racing, and nearly 16,000m of climbing, the Absa Cape Epic comes to a spectacular close in Stellenbosch, with a short but brutal 58km final stage through the iconic Jonkershoek trails pushing exhausted riders to their limits. In the men’s race, just 13 seconds separated the top teams at the start, setting up one of the most intense finales in the event’s history. Canyon surged early to secure the stage win, but it was Toyota Specialized Imbuko’s Matt Beers and Tristan Nortje who delivered a heroic performance under pressure to claim the overall title, making history as the first all-South African team to win the Cape Epic. In the women’s race, Candice Lill and Alessandra Keller rode with composure and control, managing their lead perfectly to secure the overall victory, marking Keller’s first Epic win and a long-awaited triumph for Lill after five second-place finishes. A week of relentless racing, crashes, strategy, and sheer determination ends with unforgettable champions crowned at the 2026 Absa Cape Epic. Who stood out for you this year?
