The win resulted in them taking the overall lead which they hope to carry over to today’s 100km stage from this Little Karoo town to Calitzdorp.
“We were actually going for a smooth stage and tried to limit our losses. We knew that SCOTT Factory Racing were the big favourites, as they know this course so well and they won this stage last year. It was a nice surprise!” said a cheery Stiebjahn afterwards.
On the women’s side it was Jennie Stenerhag and Robyn de Groot from Biogen Toyota Cape Brewing Co. who took the win.
“That win was totally unexpected!” remarked De Groot. “We really just wanted to ride a safe prologue more than anything else. To get the victory was a bonus and a good confidence booster for the rest of the race.”
In this stage the riders had to follow a 15.3km course around Buffelsdrift Game Lodge.
