Leading pair contemplate a hard race over the rest of the 27km course
“It’s a long race,” said Blevins when asked about the importance of starting the first stage in the leader’s yellow jersey. “We’re not taking anything for granted. We’re going to race like we have something to prove and not like we are defending. We’re going to stay resilient. There’s a lot of racing left.”
“We keep it between the limit and safety [on the downhill sections],” said Beers. “I think we did a great job. Chris really knows how to manage me. He perhaps knows how to manage me better than I know myself. It’s amazing in a partner.” On Monday, around Hermanus, they will expect to be challenged by defending champions Georg Egger and Lukas Baum , who were third on Sunday, 45sec back. However, he will be keeping a close eye out for Vincenzo Nibali, winner of the Tour de France, Giro d’Italia and Vuelta a Espana, and Samuele Porro, who was third in the 2019 Epic. The pair, riding as “Italian Friends” finished ninth on Sunday and, despite Nibali’s lack of mountain bike experience, could surprise a few teams.
