DSV Pro Cycling’s Arno du Toit and Gert Heyns won the third and final stage of the KAP sani2c at Scottburgh Golf Club in KwaZulu-Natal today, securing the overall crown in a time of 06:10:38, after a convincing performance over the two days of racing. It was a wet and muddy affair making for very technical riding.
South African mountain biker Greg Minnaar is undoubtedly the world’s most successful male downhill rider in the world, so you may be surprised to hear he is riding day 2 of the KAP sani2c today, on an e-bike.
The KAP sani2c got off to an exciting start with unexpected cool weather and muddy conditions. It was a Stage 1 win for the DSV Pro Cycling pair Arno du Toit and Gert Heyns in a time of 03:01:07, and dormakaba’s Amy McDougall and Robyn de Groot were first in the women’s race with 03:26:22.
Brad and Darryn Binder, South Africa’s motorcycle racing sensations, recently arrived home after a successful MotoGP and Moto3 season respectively. The Krugersdorp brothers are heading to KwaZulu Natal this week to take part in the KAP sani2c 3-day mountain bike stage race from Underberg to Scottburgh.
The world’s largest three-day mountain bike stage race, the KAP sani2c, is set to be the highlight of a COVID-19 stricken 2020 race calendar, as South Africa’s best marathon mountain bikers battle it out for the title. The tough 265kms of racing between Underberg and Scottburgh in KwaZulu-Natal takes place next week from 3-5 December, on a smaller scale to comply with COVID-19 regulations.
