I entered the Absa Cape Epic...
Since 2019 I have been at the Cape Epic every year, mostly working as a Physiotherapist for Scott Sram, but in 2021 I got to ride it myself and last year I did the support for another team. This year the opportunity came up to ride it again, I took it with both hands.

Best Results:
2018 was an incredible year for me, i became the Namibian Road national champion, represented my country at the Commonwealth Games in Australia as well as racing the Tour de Mauritious. It was incredible to see the world through my cycling.
2021 We did a pioneer fat bike tour from Lüderitz to Walvis Bay. +-600km over 6 days through the most unpopulated area i have been in. An adventure i will never forget. Camping and riding my bike for 6 straight days through the Namib desert.
Shortly after that tour I completed my first Cape Epic in the October 2021 version.
