· By Press Office · 10 comments

On each day of the Absa Cape Epic, the team of skilled photographers create spectacular images for us to enjoy. The Epic Photo Competition seeks to recognise their hard work. It is also an opportunity for you to win a signed print of your favourite photograph. Simply vote for one of the photos below.

In the fairness of voting, the photographers will remain anonymous until the voting period has closed.

Stage 1

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

Stage 2

The Cape Epic: a race so tough even the pros need to get off and push at times.

Stage 3

Group A heads off into the sunrise under the watchful eye of the aerial photographer.

Stage 4

What a day of racing. Punctures and other technical issues littered the leading pack throughout the stage. Scott came through with 1st and 2nd team in men’s with the ‘senior’ team allowing the ‘junior’ team the honour of the day. Scott won the mixed category yet again.

Stage 5

Stage 1 pic is awesome. If I was Sabine it is surely one that would go on the wall. Pure determination.

It looks like a couple hundred people disagree, but the Stage 6 photo really isn't that great. The dark & out of focus rock dominates the whole picture.
