Battery management was the main concern for the E-Bike racers heading of Stage 2 of the Pinotage event at FNB Wines2Whales. 6 kilometres longer than Stage 1, with 200 more metres of climbing, meant that anyone who finished on the edge of their battery life would be at risk on Stage 2. After 2 hours of fierce racing, conservative battery use and speed on the singletracks allowed Matt Lombardi and Jason Boulle to reel in and beat Joris Ryf and Sofia Wiedenroth, when the latter’s battery ran flat in the final 3 kilometres.
