2018 Cape Town Cycle Tour - HD Highlights - 1C to 1A Seeded Groups

Extended video highlights of the 1C group (6:31am) catching 1B and then 1A to combine and create a peloton of 500+ riders.

Includes full footage of both major climbs with decents - Chapmans Peak & Suikerbossie.

Camps Bay through to the finish line where I managed to win the bunch sprint of seeded riders from starting groups 1A, 1B, 1C etc down to 7C.

If you were in start group's 1A down to 1C then chances are you'll be in this footage as we lead 1C through to the front for the main bunch sprint of all seeded riders.

Rear facing footage Start line to Red Hill.
Front facing footage Slangkop to the finish.

Please let me know in the comments below if you feature in the footage at what time and wearing what kit.

Was great to ride with you all and fantastic to see safe riding even as we rode agressively.

Special shout out to Jean De Villiers (red 3T disc), as the footage shows us seeming to ride the whole race together and had a good chat along the way. He also did a great lead out to help me get the sprint.

Also Strava user Anomaly Kraft (name unknown - white Colnago) who rolled turns on the blue route and onwards, and gave me a nice comment after the race.
