The 2018 Absa Cape Epic Route has been revealed and it starts at UCT, with the finish once again being held at Val de Vie estate! The addition of a time trial on stage 5 is sure to shake the 2018 field up.

“Starting with the Prologue on the iconic Table Mountain (where the Prologue was last held in 2015), the 2018 Absa Cape Epic will visit Robertson, Worcester and Wellington, and finish at the Val de Vie Estate in the Paarl-Franschoek Valley. Riders will spend three nights in Robertson for the first three stages, with a transition stage to Worcester, where they will stay for one night before settling down in Wellington until heading to the Grand Finale at Val de Vie (which has also been announced as the home for the Grand Finale for the next five years).”
