The Absa Cape Epic has announced that Dimension Data’s role as a headline sponsor will be extended to sponsoring the race’s Masters category jersey.
The Masters category is fiercely contested and the sponsorship was immediately welcomed by legendary Dutch mountain biker Bart Brentjens, who won the Masters division in this year’s event.
“The Cape Epic is something magical and, as a mountain biker, you have to ride the Absa Cape Epic once in your lifetime. For a lot of riders this happens after they have turned 40 and are in the Masters category.”
“It’s great that Dimension Data have come on board as the Masters jersey sponsor,” said Bart, who also won the Absa Cape Epic overall in 2005 and has won the Masters category twice.
“The category has become more and more competitive. It’s the biggest category and the level of competition is as high as the elite men… just at an older age.”
Last week it was announced that Dimension Data had joined the Absa Cape Epic as a headline sponsor.
The internationally-renowned IT infrastructure provider will be its Official Technology Partner.
