Discover the joy of racing the world through the words of Epic Legend Biance Bekker...
In 2024 Biance Bekker was one of just four people to complete every Epic Series race.

Having ridden the Absa Cape Epic, 4Islands Epic Croatia, Andorra Epic Pyrenees, SPAR Swiss Epic, and all three FNB Wines2Whales races Bekker is in a unique position to speak to the challenges and highlights of each event.
