Roel Paulissen and Jakob Fuglsang Win 3rd Stage
Cape Town, 26 March 2007: The first three days of the 2007 Absa Cape Epic,
presented by adidas, have made for arguably the hardest start yet in the
history of the race. 81 riders have already received a blue number board,
meaning that they can ride the race but cannot be listed in the classification
as they did not meet the cut off time in stage two. Nevertheless, spirits are
high in the camp, with participants, particularly the top riders, agreeing that
this is the best race yet, in terms of organisation, route structure and, most
importantly, food.
