#5 Beers for Toyota Specialized at Wines2Whales

In Episode 5 of the rebooted Diverge Podcast Seamus Allardice reflects on a stellar edition of the FNB Wines2Whales Shiraz race. Toyota Specialized dominated the final event in the Epic Series’ 2024 calendar, winning all three stages, despite Alex Miller crashing heavily on Day 2. With serious stage race season now completed we then pivot to the Garden Route Giro and the launch of Dryland Event Management’s gravel stage race. Seamus joined the team from Oudtshoorn on a three-day media recce and got to see, first hand, some of the groads the race will take in, in 2026.   Then looking ahead this weekend is the oldest stage race in the country, To Hell and Back. Though it’s more social than racy, now, it is something we’re really looking forward to riding.   Remember you can read all the news covered in the Diverge Podcast on www.diverge.info: Total Domination by Toyota Specialized at the FNB Wines2Whales Shiraz Garden Route Giro: Dryland Introduce 6-Day Gravel Stage Race To Hell and Back: As jy weet, weet jy!   Follow Diverge on social media: @diverge.info on Instagram, Diverge on Facebook, @Diverge_info on X and Diverge on YouTube.
