Epic Wins Cape Epic, Again 🍾🚲🇿🇦⁠
Beers, Nortje, and Epic 8 are 2026 Cape Epic Champions 🙌🚲🙌⁠
⁠
In one of the toughest editions of the Absa Cape Epic stage race, Matt Beers and Tristan Nortje delivered a decisive victory. ⁠
⁠
Taking the lead early, then losing it, they struck back to win the Queen Stage and reclaim control, holding on to clinch the overall.⁠
⁠
Across 707 km, with 15,900 meters of climbing and descending on brutal terrain, the 2026 capeepic exposed every weakness. Riders and equipment had nowhere to hide.⁠
⁠
From prologue to podium, mattbeers55 and _tristannortje_ trusted Epic 8 and head-to-toe Specialized equipment, a complete system built to win. Proven again. ⁠
