Platt and Huber

• Matthias Pfrommer and Nicola Rohrbach are enjoying a solid Cape Epic debut, but admitted that after two days of furious racing the pace at the front is starting to take its toll.
  

• So it should come as no surprise that Platt and Huber are dominating the Absa Cape Epic this year. With a third stage win, this time the 104km Stage 3 from Tulbagh to Wellington, Platt and Huber have moved nine minutes ahead of their nearest rivals.
  

• In the Absa African Special Jersey competition, Team USN Purefit’s Darren Lill and Waylon Woolcock strengthened their grip on the red rider jersey.
  

• At the time of writing, Hynek had been sent to hospital for X-rays, after which the team will make a decision on his ability to continue in the race.
