Cape Epic: Sauser celebrates as Investec Songo Specialized teams triumph
Kulhavy/Grotts take men's overall lead from Fumic/Avancini; Langvad/Courtney hold women's lead
Team Songo Investec Specialized’s top men’s and women’s teams will both start Thursday’s crucial Stage 4 of the Absa Cape Epic in the respective category leader’s jerseys.
Former five-time winner Christoph Sauser has become something of a super mentor to the Investec Songo Specialized riders and was delighted to seen Jaroslav Kulhavy and Howard Grotts snatch the yellow men’s jerseys and the Annika Langvad/Kate Courtney combination stay in orange.
