Bart Brentjens
of World Bicycle Relief says he it was great to win this stage. “But an easy
stage it wasn't. Every day at the Absa Cape Epic is hard and today was no
different. It was a beautiful stage though. I'm glad we kept the lead and we’re
now looking forward to the finish." Adds Jan Weevers: “I now realise that
I wasn't ready for the Cape Epic at all. It’s getting better though. I found my
rhythm and can enjoy it. I've done lots of races in my career, but the Cape
Epic has become one of my favourites."
