But for the crushing 40 degree (Celsius) heat on the seemingly endless Swartberg Pass, there were only a few surprises - or changes in the results - on day two of the race.
Probably due to the heat, top times were relatively slower than expected on what was meant to be a relatively easy and short, 90km stage from Calitzdorp to Prince Albert.
The veterans seemed a bit slow today: Gus Klohn and Marc Wiederkeh of Infradev Dunkeld Cycles nudged out Temlett Hockey and Anthony de Jager by five minutes when they clocked 4:53:56. But, in spite of a serious tyre tear, masters Brian Strauss and Linus van Onselen had more than five minutes on their "younger" opposition.
The open women's pair of Fienie Barnard and Esher Lategan (Wom Landmark) clocked an impressive 4:48:20.
