The Grand Finale of the Absa Cape Epic delivered a dramatic and unforgettable finish, as the race came down to just seconds on the iconic trails of Stellenbosch.  In the men’s race, all eyes were on the battle for the overall title, with just 13 seconds separating the top two teams at the start. Matt Beers and Tristan Nortje went all-in from the gun, attacking early and relentlessly to overturn the deficit. Despite crashes, pressure, and a full-gas chase from Wilier Vittoria, the South African duo held their nerve to secure a historic overall victory — the first all-South African win in over two decades. Up front, Sam Gaze and Lukas Schwarzbauer powered to the stage win, capping off a strong week. The women’s race saw Candice Lill and Alessandra Keller complete a dominant campaign in style. Riding controlled and confident, they stayed out of trouble before pushing clear to take yet another stage win — their seventh — and seal the overall title. After years of near misses, it was a breakthrough victory for Lill and a dream debut for Keller. Eight days, countless battles, and one unforgettable race — the 2026 Absa Cape Epic delivered everything, right down to the final kilometre.
