Cycling: stage win for Hans Becking / José Dias. The Dutch-Portuguese duo has won the fourth stage of the Absa Cape Epic. Jordan Sarrou / Matthew Beers remain in the lead in the overall standings. Their worst rivals Andreas Seewald / Martin Stosek had to give up the race.
Frey / Stiebjahn stay tuned
Bad luck for Andreas Seewald. The German, who won yesterday's stage together with Martin Stosek , is now competing solo at the Absa Cape Epic. His Czech partner is suffering from stomach pains and had to abandon the race. The duo Jordan Sarrou and Matthew Beers continue to hold a commanding lead. The Frenchman and the South African lost just 43,4 seconds to the stage winners Hans Becking and José Dias. However, since the Dutchman and the Portuguese are far behind in the overall standings, they were able to further extend their lead. The Bulls duo Martin Frey and Simon Stiebjahn are now 6:42,0 minutes back. The Italians Samuele Porro and Fabian Rabensteiner currently complete the podium.
Frei / Stigger continue their series
There's still no news to report from the women's race. The Swiss-Austrian duo Sina Frei and Laura Stigger continue to dominate the competition. On the fourth stage, they secured their fifth consecutive stage win. They now lead the overall standings by over 17 minutes.
Teamwork. #CapeEpic pic.twitter.com/bkNvMfz3I0
