Tune in for daily insights from inside the media team at the2025 Absa Cape Epic with the Diverge Podcast's vlogs. In the Stage 2 episode Seamus Allardice looks back at Stage 1 and reflects on what may unfold on the longest time trial in the race’s 21 edition history. On Stage 1 we were somewhat surprised to see how Luca Braidot and Simone Avondetto took the fight to Nino Schurter and Filipo Colombo right to the line, but Scott SRAM emerged victorious and seized the yellow jerseys with a stage win by 31 seconds. It will not be the last we see of WILIER-VITTORIA as a force in the race. For South African fans the performances of Marco Joubert, Tristan Nortje, Matt Beers and Keegan Swenson will all be a concern, but there is no reason for concern just yet… In the women’s race Annika Langvad Sofia and Gomez Villafane, of Toyota Specialized, dominated Stage 1 and that is ominous for the other teams and the competitiveness of the rest of the race. Though further back there is a nice battle building for 3rd, 4th, and 5th between the Buff Megamo, Cannondale ISB Sport, Titan Racing SE Honeycomb, and e-FORT ChemChamp teams.
