From among the mass of 750 two-person teams assembled at this year's 2025 Absa Cape Epic, it is clear that there will be a laser focus on one pairing - Annika Langvad and Sofia Gomez Villafañe (Toyota Specialized). The dynamic duo have six victories and 31 stage wins between them, with Langvad alone holding five overall wins, and in 2025, she has the opportunity to make history as the first rider to win the event six times.
Firmly entrenched as the largest full-service mountain bike stage race in the world, Absa Cape Epic takes place March 16 to 23 in the Western Cape province of South Africa.
