Karl Platt pēdējos gados jau reti kad ir zaudējis kaut vienu Transalp posmu.

Cik reāli ir tur piedalīties? Vajag tikai kāpostu vai arī vajadzīgi UCI punkti.

Principā vajag tikai kāpostu.

Labs raksts par 5 posmu angļu valodā:

Īpaši jāuzsver Roel Paulissen brauciens pēdējos 18km bez kameras, tikai ar pliku Crossmax SLR aploci, līderiem posmā zaudējot 5 minūtes, bet saglabājot 1 vietu kopvērtējumā.

šī vieta man ļoti patika:
Udo Boelts, a three times German Champion (1990, 1995, 1999) and the only German to have ever won the Critéterium du Dauphiné Libéré (an important 8-stage cycling road race in the lead-up to the Tour de France) admits that the Absa Cape Epic is gruelling and challenging. “It is my first time to participate in the event and it is hard for me as I am far more experienced on the road. But despite the fact that it is so hot here, and that it is so tough, it is just beautiful…today we saw antelopes, the ocean and the most incredible views. I really take my hat off to the amateur riders who have a full time job and have to train and prepare for this – I have an endless amount of respect that they endure the physical strain,” he says.

…pirmās piecas vietas “kapājas” uz dzīvību un nāvi.
