On each day of the Absa Cape Epic, the team of skilled photographers create spectacular images for us to enjoy. Bike Hub will be holding a competition to recognise their hard work and give you the chance to win a signed copy of your favourite photograph.
Take a look at the selection of photographs from the Absa Cape Epic Stage 1 and vote for your favourite to go into the finals.
In the fairness of voting, the photographers will remain anonymous until the voting period has closed.

I had found a good spot to wait for the ladies. I didn’t know about Sabine’s crash but as they passed I noticed the blood. Jumping up I had to run and manages to capture this the second time. Only through sheer determination did she make it to the end #RESPECT

How it works
- Every day each photographer will submit their favourite shot with a short note explaining its context.
- Each day’s winning photograph will go through to the “finals” on Thursday, March 30.
- You will then get an opportunity to vote for the overall winner, who will get a R10 000 prize.
- The result will be announced at 5PM on Tuesday, April 4, and voters who chose the winning picture will go into a lucky draw for a signed and framed version of the photograph.
