THRILLING PHOTO FINISH AT WORLD’S LARGEST AMATEUR RIDE – CAPE TOWN CYCLE TOUR

The 46th edition of Cape Town Cycle Tour took place Sunday morning in magnificent conditions along the South African coast for 30,000 cyclists, with Tiffany Keep and Kent Main and standing tall on the top podium step when the racing was all done and dusted.

The women’s 78km race came down to a thrilling three-up photo finish sprint that took officials over five minutes to decide. High speed cameras showed 23 year-old Tiffany Keep (DAS Hutchinson Brother UK) edging out S’annara Grove with a bike throw at the line to win by less than a centimeter. Vera Looser was the looser, finishing third with all three riders awarded a final time of 2:12:01.

“We didn’t know who got it,” Keep confessed. “It was super, super close. S’annara jumped me with about 100 metres to go and I had to work quite hard to get back to her wheel. So, yes, I’m really, very, happy with that!”

In the men’s 109km race, 28 year-old Kent Main (RKC Collective) attacked with 5 kilometers to go, put his head down and held off an elite chasing bunch to finish solo in 2:31:21. Cannondale Factory Racing teammates Charlie Aldrige (2:31:35) and Alan Hatherly (2:31:36) were next to cross the finish line.

“I’ve got goosebumps,” a wide grinning Main said afterwards. “It’s amazing! It was an amazing race. It was super hard right from the beginning but I think how tough it was actually worked in our favour. It’s amazing to have won it!”

You had me at “bonjour”

France bike tours.

There is perhaps no better gift to cyclists than France with ideal terrains and backdrops of verdant pastures, mountaintops, gorges and canals. Locals celebrate the sport of cycling fervently, especially as hosts to one of the world’s biggest annual sporting events, the Tour de France.

France boasts a high number of well-established routes and time-tested itineraries from several tour operators, with a range of levels and experience available for novices and pros alike.

Experience the peaceful ambiance and calm pace of the French countryside, with its farms, vineyards and chateaux, and the country’s rich history from medieval cathedrals to 20th-century battlefields.

“The setting, the biking, the food and wine but above all the way we, the guests, were treated was nothing less than perfect.”

42 Km Cape Town Cycle Tour

Cape Town Cycle Tour

• 42km Cape Town Cycle Tour 2023
• Media Accreditation

Date: 9 March 2025 | Distance: 42km

The 42km Cape Town Cycle Tour was launched in 2023, and was a great success. The Cape Town Cycle Tour is well-known for its 109km route around the Cape Peninsula, and the introduction of the Cape Town Cycle Tour short route provided a platform for new cyclists, junior cyclists and those a little daunted by the main event’s distance to experience the joy of safe cycling on fully closed roads.

Riders on the 42km route enjoy the same world-class organisation, festive refreshment tables and cycling camaraderie that the Cycle Tour has become famous for over the course of its 46-year history. 

The 42km route starts exactly where the 109km does, shortly after that event’s final riders have set off. Table Mountain looks over the start chutes on the Grand Parade, under the ramparts of the Castle of Good Hope. Riders head out on Nelson Mandela Boulevard – a decent climb to warm up the legs – before descending past Groote Schuur Hospital, Mostert’s Mill, UCT and on to Paradise Motors.

The second challenge of the day is Edinburgh Drive; short and steep, but soon to become Wynberg Hill and a fast, fun ride to the end of the Blue Route freeway. Here, the 109km riders will have peeled left earlier in the morning, but the 42km route does an about-turn and comes back up the M3 past the wine farms of Constantia and Newlands Forest, ultimately cresting above Groote Schuur. The glorious view across Table Bay, from the mountain to the breakers of Blouberg, will guide riders all the way downhill to the finish in Riebeek Street in the city centre.

The finish area for the 42km route has moved to Riebeek Street. The finish line will be located 1.8km from the 109km finish at the Green Point Precinct, there will be a marshalled route via Somerset Road and the fan walk for those wanting to ride through to the Cycle Tour finish precinct.

Lauren Stephens crested the climb atop Mogollon to celebrate the first stage victory for Cynisca Cycling at the 2024 Tour of the Gila . Nadia Gontova finished just behind in second for DNA Pro Cycling, with last year’s stage winner, Marcela Prieto (Steve Tilford Foundation) in third.

The victory marks Stephen’s second on the road this season since winning the Clasica de Almeria in Spain a month ago. Stephens swapped roles coming into Gila this week after directing ROXO Racing team last year in Silver City, notably when Gontova was racing for the team.

“It was really exciting because I have done some training with her over the past year so I’d say we’re pretty good friends,” Stephens said. “I knew today that I didn’t want to lose time. My first goal was to stay with Nadia. I had seen how well she had done a couple weeks ago at Redlands.”

Gontova arrived in Silver City after earning the biggest palmares in her career thus far, winning the overall title at the Redlands Bicycle Classic earlier this month. The Canadian burst on to the pro scene after winning Oak Glen last season at Redlands. ROXO signed her shortly after, taking her to the Vuelta Colombia Femenina where she celebrated her first UCI stage victory.

“I’ve trained with her some and know how strong she is,” Stephens said. “I told myself that if I was feeling good I would attack in the last couple kilometers.”

Seventy-one riders took to the start today in Silver City as the pro women rolled out for the 71.2 mile trek ahead for the opening stage Wednesday. The field had stuck together until the first intermediate sprint, which was won by Tashkent Women’s Pro Cycling Team Margarita Misyurina. The team from Uzbekistan is racing their second year at Gila after their debut in 2023.

Competitive Edge Racing’s Galen Bolard took a solo flyer soon after, escaping the field to gained up to a four-minute gap before DNA Pro Cycling picked up the chase soon after the second and final intermediate sprint of the day.

The wind was starting to pick up just slightly, as teams began to organize approaching the right turn onto NM highway 159, beginning the final climb to the finish. An unfortunate cross of the wheels caused a good portion of the field to crash, with the top contenders and teams escaping most of the carnage staying close to the front. DNA continued to drive the pace before Cynisca Cycling took over, lead by 2X Redlands stage winner, Mara Roldan. The pace had obliterating what was left of the field, leaving less than 10 riders to fight for the win.

2023 Mogollon Stage Winner, Marcela Prieto, had made the split, along with Gontova who was sitting on Stephen’s wheel. As the group was approaching the final climb, Gontova launched a fierce attack. Stephens was quick to respond, jumping on her wheel, followed by Prieto. The tempo turned out to be too much for the Mexican climber, as she watched the duo slip away from her grasp.

“It was a hard day on the climb, after a short while I wasn’t able to keep that pace to the finish,” Prieto said. “I am happy with the result. Third place is not bad, I’m happy to give another try tomorrow. Hopefully I will improve a little but of course I will try until the final day.”

Further up the road, Stephens was happy to sit on Gontova’s wheel allowing her to do all the work in the final few kilometers. Despite her best efforts, Gontova was not able to shake Stephens off her wheel.

“I knew my best chance on this climb was to go pretty early. I know Lauren has a good kick,” Gontova said at the finish. “Maybe I was a little impatient but at that point, I knew my only hope was to keep the pace high and hope that I could crack her. She was really strong on the day and ended up having a really strong attack at the end. I just couldn’t follow and she rode away. “

As the two were nearing the one-kilometer to go mark, Stephens launched her final attack riding away from Gontova to celebrate her victory.

“Nadia attacked as soon as we started the last bit of the climb,” Stephens said. “I was able to stay with her. I knew I was accomplishing my first goal and it was just icing on the cake to be able to put a little bit of time into Nadia today.”

Stephens earned two jerseys for her victory today, the first red leader’s jersey and the first Queen of the Mountain jerseys for earning top points on the finish line. Nadia Gontova leads the Best Young Rider classification heading into stage 2.

Racing resumes on Thursday for the women, starting at 10:20 MDT after the men at Fort Bayard.
