#15: Nortje and Stedman Draw First Blood in Cape Pioneer Showdown

This week, the Diverge Podcast is at the Momentum MedicalScheme Cape Pioneer, presented by Biogen. Tune in for daily reports and interviews from the race. In the opening show, we recap a thrilling and challenging Stage 1, which was won by Toyota Imbuko Specialized ChemChamp and Efficient Infiniti Insure. Tristan Nortje and Travis Stedman were thrown together by circumstance, but with three wins and two more podium places between them in September, they were the form pairing coming into the race. Vera Looser and Samantha Sanders started less sure of their fitness, as Sanders had been off the bike for nearly three months with a serious injury. Nonetheless, the African and South African champion pairing was able to dominate the opening day.  To read more news from the Race with Soul and beyond inthe broader South Africa’s endurance sport industry, visit Diverge.info:Nortje and Stedman Draw First Blood in Race with Soul Showdown Follow Diverge on social media: @diverge.info on Instagram, Diverge on Facebook, @Diverge_info on X, and Diverge on YouTube.
