South African Candice Lill will team up with German Adelheid Morath at the Cape Epic next month.
Lill, who rides for Team dormakaba SA, said she was really looking forward to riding with Morath, who has competed in the Cape Epic three times before.

Having tackled her first Cape Epic last year, Lill feels she and Morath will complement each other well in the mountain-bike stage race, which runs from March 18 to 25.
“I believe Adelheid’s biggest strengths are her honesty, communication and ability to look after a teammate.
“I know she can climb very well, so I might suffer up many of the mountains.
“We have different strengths and weaknesses, but that can all be optimised throughout the race. I look forward to working with her and learning from her,” Lill added.
Lill finished sixth in last year’s Cape Epic with Namibian Vera Adrian, while Morath finished fourth with three-time Epic winner Ariane Lüthi.
