Sani2C 2026 Toyota Specialized Imbuko
Stage 1

Earlier concerns around foot-and-mouth disease forced route adjustments, removing several iconic single tracks. The revised course favored district roads, setting the stage for high-speed racing.

Marco drove the pace relentlessly, disrupting the rhythm of the peloton and testing the endurance of the competition.

A brief encounter with a Black Mamba in the single track section added drama, but the GC contenders remained composed. In the final sprint, Jaedon and Travis contested fiercely for the stage win, missing victory by a mere two inches.

Stage 1 Results:

Joubert & Nortje: Maintained GC lead, 4th in the sprint.

Trelouw & Stedman: 2nd place in sprint finish

With the Queen Stage looming tomorrow, the team is poised to capitalize and extend their advantage in the General Classification.
