Em uma etapa de 101km a chuva e a lama maltrataram os entrépidos MTbikers que estão participando do Cape Epic. A dupla vencedora foi Robert Mennen e Kristian Hynek (Team Topeak-Ergon).
Os vencedores da etapa de ontem Markus Kaufmann e Jochen Kaess (Centurion Vaude) acabaram chegando 50 minutos atrás dos líderes por conta de uma quebra de quadro da bike de Kaess quebrou e eles tiveram que fazer um remendo com cabos e câmara de ar reservas.
A equipe da Specialized, que conta com Christoph Sauser (campeão do ano passado) e Frantisek Rabon (novo parceiro), não foram bem e chegaram na 8ª posição 13:19 depois dos líderes.
Na master, o brasileiro Abraão Azevedo, junto com seu parceiro Bart Brentjens venceram a etapa com 8 minutos de vantagem sobre Shan Wilson e Adrian Enthoven que são os atuais líderes da classificação geral. Com esse resultado eles estão apenas a 5m24s dos líderes na CG.
