Cape Epic: tanti grandi nomi al via

Creato il 12 marzo 2013 da Worldxcmtb @WorldXCMTB

Domenica 17 Marzo partirà una delle gare più dure al mondo, la Absa Cape Epic, che percorrerà 700 chilometri e circa 15000 metri di dislivello. Saranno 8 giorni di fatiche ed emozioni in territori stupendi che però metteranno a dura prova i corridori. La Absa Cape Epic quest'anno avrà al via anche alcuni grandi esponenti del mondo XC, questo per via della partenza ritardata della Coppa del Mondo Cross country che avrà la prima tappa a fine Maggio che quindi useranno la Cape Epic anche come un ottimo allenamento.

I Team italiani al via sono la Avion Axevo, con Mirko Celestino e Luca Ronchi, l'Elettroveneta Corratec, con Soren Nissen ed Enrico Franzoi, e la Torpado Surfingshop con Yader Zoli e Roel Paulissen, già vincitore di questa corsa in passato.

La squadra favoritissima è il Team Specialized che per l'occasione prenderà il nome di Stander, in ricordo dell'atleta Sudafricano scomparso prematuramente, e sarà capitanato da Cristoph Sauser ed Jaroslav Kulhavy. Subito dietro molti team competitivo come il Multivan Merida (Rudi Van Houts/Josè Hermida), Topeak Ergon (Alban Lakata/Robert Mennen) e Swisspower (Florian Vogel/Nino Schurter). Tra le squadre favorite anche il Team Bulls, con 3 team competitivi composti da Karl Platt/Urs Huber, Thomas Dietsch/Tim Boehme e Stefan Sahm/Simon Stiebjahn. Incognita per il Team Cannondale che con Manuel Fumic e Marco Fontana proverà a cimentarsi nelle lunghe distanze.

In ambito femminile vediamo chi saprà contrastare la coppia terribile della Topeak Ergon formata da Sally Bigham e Milena Landtwing.
