Team Scott-SRAM MTB-Racing won the Prologue of the 2019 Absa Cape Epic on the slopes of Table Mountain ahead of Cannondale Factory Racing and KROSS-SPUR on Sunday 17 March.
Christoph Sauser has taken part in all but the first Absa Cape Epic, winning five of those 13 events and spending time at or near the front of the race in nearly all of them.
Choosing the Absa Cape Epic as your first-ever stage race and partnering with a modern legend is not a decision most would take. But American XCO-specialist Kate Courtney is not someone who is afraid of making big choices.
