David Bellairs, Co-Director of the Cape Town Cycle Tour Trust, says this year's Giro del Capo has been remarkable due to the dominance of the mountain bikers over the road cyclists. "The top three guys all come from mountain biking backgrounds and they have really given the road cyclists a run for their money."
After the first three stages in Wellington, Durbanville and Paarl, under-23 World Champion mountain biker Burry Stander held the pink leaders jersey. However, a superb sprint up Signal Hill this morning provided George with a big enough lead over his competitors to claim the top prize.
Twenty teams competed in this year's Giro del Capo, with Team Medscheme taking top team honours. The race covered a total of 425,5km over four days.
Overall Results
1. David George 10.32'26
