Stage 1 of the Cape Epic was classically brutal. It wasn't the best day for Toyota Specialized Ninety One or for the Ninety One songo Specialized team. Both Matt Beers & Chris Blevins, as well as Sofia Gomez & Katarina Nash lost their leaders' jerseys.
Stage win in the @ExxaroResources jersey competition for Ntlantla Nonkasa & Zola Ngxakeni. Tomorrow they exchange their @ToyotaSA @SpecializedZA jerseys for the lime green ones.
“It’s so special Racing in South Africa and being a kind of hometown hero, but I’m just a basic dude who digs riding a bike.” - @MattBeers55 after winning the @CapeEpic Prologue with @chrisblevs
